I watch you from a far
You scrap and scrape for the par
They are all like crabs within the barrel
Pulling you back, never caring your life is imperil
You wander from place to place
Always wondering how to save face
This life you’ve contrived is only a game
Always shielding your heart but finding the same
Lost and confused, bended and broken
Those you gathered only gave you a token
You thought you were reaching your highest goal
Only to find all the searching has only found an empty soul
I long to help you, to lend you a hand
Yet, you push me away, stating it is alone you must stand
My heart cries to see your stubborn desolation to stay
Praying one day you might realize He is the Only Way
