Why is it a need
Why is it a need to know my heart
A want to feel enlightened and sure
Feeding my ego like a hungry lion
Building problems that can not reassure
Why is it a need to know my heart
Why is it a need to heal my Soul
To see the many shades of red
Discover all the shapes that green comes in
Knowing I have often been misled
Why is it a need to heal my Soul
All the unfounded beliefs in my mind
All the thought I don’t police
All the ideas that have rendered me blind
Keep me from being at peace
Keep me from being at peace
Why is it a need to shine my light
I crave the foolish moon to feel alive
Thinking I’m a victim of fortune and fate
Knowing what it’s for is how I thrive
Why is it a need to shine my light
