Trapped within

Trapped within customs, not knowing what they truly mean
Trapped within tradition, without understanding
Trapped within the norms of society.
That hasn't got a clue where it's going

Trapped within the rat race
Trying to get the best out of life
Trapped within the traffic
Crawling to get to work and then back home

Trapped within the deadline
Work that has to be done
Trapped within expectations
You've got to be your best

Trapped within a system
That expects you to deliver
Trapped within the rules
That you cannot deny

Trapped within the wiles of the wily politicians
Who want to suck the life out of you
While pretending to be your best friend
Trapped within a rage, about the injustice of it all
Trapped within
A heart, a soul, a mind
Yearning for freedom

Quo vadis

In the darkness of the day
In the brightness of night
I can see clearly where we're going
That's not how it was meant to be

Creating artificially what nature gave freely
Trying to recreate what's already there
Dominating nature, trying to make it a slave
Man, most foolish, among all creation

Chasing dreams, conquering the earth and the moon and stars
With a wad full of cash in the bank, playing God
Messing around with creation, though he's so puny
And wishing for immortality, for reasons known to him

Does it take nature's fury for you to wake up and see?
Are your blinded so much by your insatiable urge to win?
Or are you foolish enough to imagine that you'll be there forever?
Are you blind to nature's reality

You're lesser than an ant
No greater than a cockroach
A playful claw of a tiger can do you in
You're nothing, the weakest amongst creation
You cant run fast enough
Neither your claws and teeth are strong enough
You cannot win a race against a sloth
He has claws that can tear
Yet it in your mammoth folly
You think you're omnipotent
With the power over life and death
While you're just a silly human

Amassing wealth and power
Which can vanish in a second
If that's not Maya
Tell me what it is

Creating a sense of security
Building a nest so fragile
The smallest of nature's fury
Can scatter it in the wind

Where are you going, my dearest?
What's it that you want?
Power and glory and life everlasting
When you know you're just a frail human

True love

The least you can do for me is be true
There's nothing more I want
There's nothing more I want
Because I love you
I love you
I love you so much
The least you can do for me is to be true

Maybe I'm not the one you've dreamed about
Maybe I'm just not right
Maybe I've failed to be the best I could be
Maybe you haven't seen the best of me

But baby whatever it is
Whatever I'm not
I've tried my best to be true
And that's about the best I can do

I can't imagine a life without you
Baby you know how much I love you
Baby just know how much I miss you
The least you can do is to be true

You're the one in my dreams
You're the one I wake up to
You're the one I see always
You're my own, my own self

Baby all you've got to be is true
Everything else is just not true
All I want to do is be with you
And that's something you'll know is the truth

Sometimes in life, you get battered
You don't know what lies ahead
But even in those times there's one thing I know
You'll be there beside
I love you
