As I sit here at my keyboard
And I read the e-mail forward
And it says how much I'm loved
I cannot help
But ask myself

Who made this rot up?
Because I'm feeling rather worthless
And I'm feeling quite alone
And I just can't see why anyone would care

I heard some people talking
And I couldn't help my gawking
Because the story they were telling
Was the story
Of my life

How brainwashed can I get?
Because I've read so many stories
And I've seen so many movies
Where it always turns out just how it should be

And the song that band's been singing
The one that set my hopes to ringing
Has suddenly shed light on the whole thing
I couldn't see
The song's whole theme

What will I become?
And I just can't see my future
And I can't see what will happen
Where You're calling me, I don't know

All that I'm requesting
Is a little bit of resting
For my arrow-riddled heart
And I,
I cry

How much longer shall I wait?
For hope and wait, and wait and hope
Are really the same thing
And so do these I shall

Until You grant me understanding
