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

but this cannot be done alone i have to face it and fight
is there a way to reverse this madness to go forward

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
