Just Me
Why do we have to stick to a certain role,
if this is the way we can never be whole?
Is this the way it has to be,
that from this roles we'll never be free?
Why can't be we just who we are,
instead of keeping our true self tied?
Why do we make this distance so far?
Why does the person we really are have to
hide?
Why do we stick to the roles we play,
why are we letting this get into our way?
What if I just keep on to say,
why does this pretention have to stay?
A thousand question inside my head,
that keep me busy in my mind,
because I don't see why instead
there can't be another, a better way to
find
-because I really can't see,
what it is that's so bad in being just me
Isn't every person an individual,
that we should see as really equal?
Why does the way we have to go
have to be so much harder if we deny to
simply follow?
Why do they think being different is bad,
but on the other hand demand to be true
-when following their rules is making us
sad,
because this way of ourselves we don't get
a clue?
Why do we stick to the roles we play,
why are we letting this get into our way?
What if I just keep on to say,
why does this pretention have to stay?
A thousand question inside my head,
that keep me busy in my mind,
because I don't see why instead
there can't be another, a better way to
find
-because I really can't see
what it is that's so bad in being just me
Why can't we just follow our heart
-try to be good, so we don't fall apart,
finding the balance we have deep inside
-because our true self never really died?
We don't need a role to play,
for each person has to find their way
If we're being honest, we need to say,
that getting stuck into role playing can't
stay:
We need to get into our head,
that we all need to be equal and fair
instead
We need to think about it in our mind,
that there is a better way to find,
because it is not hard to see:
There's nothing wrong with being just me
WHO WE ARE
We were brought up in a certain way,
with values and standards we see every day:
Our culture is a part of who we are,
though at times the old ways seem to be so
far
The world that now we get to live in
seems very different from the way it's been
before
-I think that there might be a new era to begin,
about which me might have to find out some
more
There are differences to other cultures we
might see,
other standards about the way that it
should be,
so we might have to question the ones we
learned about,
for it is not forbidden to have some doubt
Don't forget about what once was taught,
just stay openminded, so you see other
paths as well:
New ways don't necessarily need to be
fought,
at times these ways might take us forward -
who can tell
We need to start some communication,
because we need the information
to find the cultural heritage that we
share,
to lighten the burdens that we all bear
Too much got lost already with time going
by,
so we need to learn from what's been there
all the time through:
There is just one human race - so don't you
wonder why
there's so much work left we all can do
So we should never forget who we really
are,
the distance separating us is not really so
far:
If we do it right, it will be less every
single day,
because we are one family - together we can
find a way
Balanced
Looking back to the past, I see
many things as they used to be:
Things that are well worth being remembered
for all,
for they are connected to memories worth to
recall
Other things need to rearrange,
simply because the times are about to
change
-but we should still keep on doing the best
we can,
we should remember that our kind is
supposed to be human
Don't let money or might get the best of
you,
because this way the only thing you'd do
is to harm others on the way that you go
-even more you harm your soul, even if you
don't get to know
Try to find your balance inside,
don't be blind - open your eyes really
wide,
so you can finally get to see
how much more beautiful this world really
could be
We need to find the things that should
stay,
between the past and the presence there is
a balanced way:
Include nature, include others into your
thought,
and the result might be better than the
ones you got taught
But most important of all we're thinking
of,
is that we do everything out of love,
for this way we can get many problems gone
-simply because the human race really is
one
