im a simple mind in a complicated world
trying to wade through all the muck and mire around
wondering how mankind got himself into this mess
is there a way to reverse this madness to go forward

i find myself not wanting to cope with diversity
to hole up like a scared rebbit hide away from life
but this cannot be done alone i have to face it and fight
is there a way to reverse this madness to go forward

to reestablish who i am what i believe how i want to live
no one to control me bring me to my knees in fear
to stand tall to be proud of my own accomplishments
is there a way to reverse this madness to go forward

i look around now gather myself up off the ground
put myself back together again one piece at a time
i thank my heavenly father that i am still alive kicking
is there a way to reverse this madness to go forward
