Why Can't You See?

'FACE IT' From Visual Counterpoint


Raindrops are falling on my head,
Each drop contains life for the world,
Why can’t you see the weight on me?

I can no longer raise my face,
To the stars that gave me birth,
I cry to my mother and father,
They did not prepare me well for this earth,

Nothing could prepare me for this life,
This life of sorrow,
This life of pain,
This life of regret,
This life so short that I could never pay my due,

Raindrops are falling on my head,
Tears shed yesterday, here today,
Why can’t you see the weight on me?
