Not about me
Sir Evergrace Longsword 1967 (California)
Suppressing thoughts, from within my mind,
to keep out the pain, from one of my kind
A young person in pain, that wants to die,
from those who bully, and not know why
Why is the world, so cruel and bent,
whatever happened, to Heaven sent
Its not about me, this time in life,
there must be a way, to remove her strife
Banished from her life, by jealousy and sin,
by the blood of Jesus, is the only way to win
Lessons to be learned, that tear out my heart,
feeling totally helpless, by being apart
While I sit and wait, for goodness to come,
she suffers in life, from the evil scum
My tears flow hard, at the thought of her pain,
I would rather be hit, by a runaway train
I will not live, if death comes her way,
my life will be forfeit, this truly I say
