This is the human condition
There is nothing that can be said
To stop us from making mistakes
When I look to myself as a source of ending pain
No matter how many times before I've failed
It seems our problems solve themselves
When we look beyond us to those truly in hell
The more I focus on myself
Then the more helpless that I become
So why not erase this point of view?
My suffering is trivial
Compared to those who know real agony
It seems our problems solve themselves
When we look beyond us to those truly in hell
It seems our problems solve themselves
When we look beyond our suffering
My trials seem insignificant now
Why won't we look beyond us?
Why won't we look beyond our despair?
It seems our problems solve themselves
When we look to those truly in hell
Personal redemption cannot change the world
Unless we lay down our lives for those who still suffer
Bound to learn the hard way This is the human condition There is nothing that can be said To stop us from making mistakes When I look to myself as a source of ending pain No matter how many times before I've failed It seems our problems solve themselves When we look beyond us to those truly in hell The more I focus on myself Then the more helpless that I become So why not erase this point of view? My suffering is trivial Compared to those who know real agony It seems our problems solve themselves When we look beyond us to those truly in hell It seems our problems solve themselves When we look beyond our suffering My trials seem insignificant now Why won't we look beyond us? Why won't we look beyond our despair? It seems our problems solve themselves When we look to those truly in hell Personal redemption cannot change the world Unless we lay down our lives for those who still suffer Explain Request ×
