Each step on the road I take,
Each step on this line of blood,
A bullet point on the list of suffering
-if only I could understand
Each generation left behind
Each life aligning in the eclipse of time
I barely breathe in this shade of ignorance
-if only you could understand
Each lesson I left too early
Each time I spurned wisdom older than me
Patterns etched deeper into my present self
-if only I could understand
Each breath I left behind
Each breath leaving the ones I’ve crossed
I try to set things right and beg forgiveness
-if only you could understand.
If I could take back the words, the days
If I could take your hand, have mercy
Fighting for something bigger than us
Voluntarily to give away all I have become.
