that we use each other
people would rather fight and lie
than share truth with each other
people would rather hide or die
than get real with each other
fearing each other
people cry
people do not want to understand
why we don't trust each other
people would rather ball up their hand
than share love with each other
people would rather make demands
than just accept each other
rejecting each other
people cry
why...
do we make choices that bring us down
oh why oh why
do we have to paint a smile on a clown
can you tell me why
we are so afraid to be honest with each other
or even with ourselves
why oh why
is it all in the books books upon our shelves
or is there another reason sisters and brothers
make life hell
