What destination have I been trying to reach
Just what point am I trying to make
There’s a lot I have to learn before I can teach
You must please try to understand
I truly do want to participate
But there’s always some hidden part of me
That finds it hard to just cooperate
My patience is so short
Yet my lessons oh, so long
I try to compromise them both
Through the message in my song
It has not been simple or easy
To figure out my reason for being here
The purpose not always has been clear
Yet, the meaning I hold so dear
You must please try to forgive me
For the pain is oh, so great
It’s been so very hard for me
To attempt to assimilate
My time here is so short
And my mission is so long
I try to compromise them both
Through the vision in my song
So tell me who am I?
In the bigger scheme of things
What difference will I make
What change will I create
When I try to shine my light
Upon the mark – I cannot hit it
I must not be very bright
Because somehow – I just don’t get it
Long before I was sent on this journey
My Master left instructions a map a list
It’s taken me a while to realize his purpose
And the lessons I’ve yet to put into full practice
I’ve tried so hard to understand
To speak of LOVE and not of HATE
It’s been so very hard for me
To simply communicate
So many depend upon spoken words
I feel as if I can’t afford to lose
Now I’m at the crossroads of my life
And I must find a way to choose
3 roads diverged among the skies and I
Not able to re-emerge The glue
Having melted – the trip will crash land
How will I ever see it through
When I am so far from the Master’s Plan
No one else can advise me what to do
But to compromise it all
When the final hour is due
All the pain and suffering in this world
It’s inhabitants must find true harmony
I am just one alien girl
It will take more than my simple melody
So just who the #### am EYE
If others hear my cry
Will things be different when EYE die
Just tell me
Who am I
When I shine my light
I cannot hit it
I’m not too bright…
I just don’t get it….
