There's a million things I haven't done, but just you wait."

~Hamilton (Via Lin-Manuel Miranda)


I walk up the street,

Down the hallway in school,

And I can’t really find my way,


Taking heart to the beat,

And the echoing,

Of my heart bursting through.

Trying to understand,


Why i’m so innocent

I cannot find

Why I do not understand 

Who

What is that?

What does that mean?

They call me those names,

I don’t understand

Then they laugh at my

incompetence.


God help my soul, 

I’m so confused,

Save me and show me 

What I got to loose?


Conflict battles, 

Running through 

Take me to that 

Far-off view

Help this run-on war refuse

Inside, crashing

Burning down

Tell me why I made a sound?


Why i’m so innocent

I cannot find

Why I do not understand 

Who

What is that?

What does that mean?

They call me those names,

I don’t understand

Then they laugh at my

incompetence.


Keep me away

 from this bloodstained

World

Keep me clean 

and white

And pure

And white

And pure

And


Why i’m so innocent

I cannot find

Why I do not understand 

Who

What is that?

What does that mean?

They call me those names,

I don’t understand

Then they laugh at my

incompetence.


I walk away 

Enda the day

White cloth brown

Where did that beauty go?

Time to go corrupt a soul.

It's Joy again and I feel so naive in this corrupt world, wanted to write a song about it
