What’s the point of living
If you didn’t have someone by your side?
What’s the point of trying
If you’d still be terrified?
What’s the point of hoping
If hope didn’t stop you from losing your mind?
What’s the point of trusting
If everybody around you lied?
What’s the point of writing
If indifference would be all that you find
Had you been more careful
You would’ve seen how pride
Has made of you a big blind!
Had you been more grateful
You wouldn’t have denied
All the blessing God has to provide
If you want to be useful
Just swallow your pride
You’ll see how life would be such a nice ride
