If I am Who You Say



If I am who you say ...

No soul on earth will pay

For the work I have done

For they see ... not - the sun



I do ... see the sun daily

And rejoice in it ... gaily

For the sun lifts my spirit

Doing so without limit ...



Which does stunt some

For they fire their guns

Trapping themselves

Further back on shelves

 

Merging into wallpaper

Losing a chance at greater

For they feel they've won

By becoming more numb
