When I was mistaken in Crying
I saw the world today
And I felt like crying
Because I saw people burning
And others were so cold even though it was May.
I woke up today and my chest broke
Because I saw a man screaming,
And his girlfriend said "I don't love anymore".
I saw a child that lost his mother
A father that lost his daughter.
I saw a man that lost his job
Crying and begging to a guy named Bob.
I saw a teenager point a knife at himself
Saying 'they are right and I should kill myself'
And I saw the world and I wanted to cry
I closed my window and asked God why
I went to sleep, I want this to be done
I don't want to look at this world anymore.
Or so I thought...
Because the next morning I saw the world
And I was shocked
Because I saw people fighting the flames 'till they were off
And others covering my brothers so they will be warm this May
I woke up and I smiled to the world
Because I saw a man kneeling to apologize
With tears in his eyes
And his girlfriend kissing him
Saying that they should give it another try.
I saw the child at the cemetery talking to his mother
And I couldn’t believe the strength of his smile.
I saw the father holding a photo
of his girl and saying
"You would not believe how happy she was"
And as he remembered the past, laughing
I said he deserved an applause
Because now both had found peace
At the end of this piece.
Now the other man found another job
He is not begging anymore.
How could have Bob have seen
That this guy his competition would be.
I saw the teenager bearing a scar
But you should have seen that his face was as bright as a star.
He loved himself, and now plays guitar
Yeah, I saw the world and I wanted to cry,
Because I didn't understand how awesome it was.
I saw my people using their pain as Lego pieces
Building awesome towers to the sky,
And if they fall,
They don't ask why.
They take the pieces
And build to the sky.
I saw the world blossom
And thought that it was awesome.
