Oh So Blue



Help me comprehend you
Suffocating, hot, tiring,
That is how I describe this place that’s burning
Hungry people in an area who are eating nothing,
Painful to see how they are surviving.

So sick to see the kind of living,
In a place where I can’t understand anything.
Busy place, hot place and everything,
I can see nothing but the truth.
Where’s the justice?
Where’s something that’s so special in you?

I see people living in a sick life
And all I can do is cry
You are supposed to carry them and fly.
Give them the goodness
they deserve in life, so aim high.

Who controls you?
Can’t you see? Your people are so blue!
Do something to give a life that’s
Not only good for two.
Give them what they deserve for they
Give you the tax that you needed too.

You gave me enough reason not to go to you.
Now, give me reason to love you
Give me a reason to openly hug you
No hesitation, do it and erase the sadness
that’s so blue.
