LYRICS:
*****************************************************************************
Sitting here and wondering, watching the seasons going by
Each new answer just brings ten new questions
My eyes have finally opened
Armored human wrecks walking the streets
Longing for a leader to take away their pain
We have not learned anything
Let me live another day
Without sorrow, without fear
Let me feel the wind on my face
Let me feel the sun
And live my days with fun
Let me sing this hymn to life
Molesting and incest
Unloving parents feeding the oven of madness known as planet earth
Love turns into prostitution
Embracing into violence
Lovemaking into fucking
Greed kills our humanity, morality our natural needs
Jealousy kills the friendship
Let me live another day
Without sorrow, without fear
Let me feel the wind on my face
Let me feel the sun
And live my days with fun
Let me sing this hymn to life
