In the darkness of despair,

The selfish want more than their share.

You have yours but where is mine?

By themselves in space and time.

 

A love is more than they can bear,

Alone again with none to share.

If only they could own the sky;

Would this fill the hole inside?

 

Want is never satisfied.

Want will keep the pain inside.

Want will drive the mind insane.

Want will fill a soul with pain.

 

Yes, selfishness and want you see,

Will fill the heart and yet not be,

The way to life, to be set free;

Again I say, but can you see?
