We cling on being materialistic
And lose sense of being realistic
We focus on the lavishness
While around us, we lose awareness
If hope comes in the greatest need
Where is the strength to take the lead?
If courage comes in the heat of battle
And through ordeals we develop our mettle
My vision for the future is static
For the things around behave erratic
If fate is not in my favor
What luck should I give way for?
But I still stand with my feet
Holding my faith to make ends meet
Even in a world barren of good
I still wish and still I could
Forgive me for all the mess I made
Forgive me for those I never paid
If we meet someday, please remind me when
The time I was very optimistic then
