IF YOU CANT LOVE ANYONE AT LEAST LOVE YOURSELF, YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE DONT LET ANYONE CHANGE THAT, YOU ARE LIKE THE STAR THAT SHINES AT ITS APPOINTED TIME


I ask for sunshine 

You give me rain

When i want to play 

You make me stay


Making the people dance for you,

You accept their praise and bring the rain

Then flood the place and bring them pain


Am I black or white

I don't know again

I go to the beach

Just to come back looking insane


How funny do you think you are

laughing at our pain 

making us your clowns

laughing at our mistakes


we never asked to see your rage

spreading fires

destroying our trees

destroying our oxygen

its like you want us dead


Yes we accept

you answered our request

we asked for new lands

you gave us deserts

at least i get more ice cream for dessert


God gave us minerals

not the one we drink

but things we use to run our airlines

then you bring the lightning and crash our planes 

 make noise with your thunder 

kids scream and cry in chorus with your rain

 

My friends are dying

Polly the polar bear

Pinky the penguin

And many others

Now what did they do to deserve it.


How funny do you think you are 

laughing at our pain

making us clowns

laughing at our mistakes


Its my fault i get

it's our fault we get it

but we think of new inventions 

everyday trying to fix our mistakes


From cars that run on water

to those that run on solar

to buses that run on bottles 

all this to reduce your rage


We are not perfect

not in any way 

it's the same way that you change

that we change every single day.

Sometime I just wonder if there is someone up there in the sky controlling the weather and what goes through their mind. how the person feels about us humans.
