All I Am, Why Am I Not

Invisible, I want to be seen

I want you to know just where I have been

I am a man from nowhere

My life is important, I want you to care

Quiet, I want all to hear

I want you to listen to my feelings so clear

I am a man who knows naught

My brain filled with reason, because what was taught

Scared, I want to be bold

I want you to hold me before I get old

I am a man with no home

My heart wants to care, please don’t leave me alone

Dying, I want to be alive

I want you to feel what I have inside

I am a man who’s in love

My soul is alive, you are mine sent from above

Happy, I want to be free

I want you to see all I can be

I am a man that’s been torn apart

My spirit lives on, let me give you my heart
