Oh, Father Time, can you help me out?
I'm in a desparate time of doubt.
The hands on the clock on the wall
are moving so fast I'm about to fall
off this pedestal they've put me on,
cuz pressure's bearing down upon
my heart, my soul, my body and mind;
My blood is pumping it's time to find
a ladder, escape, a hole in the wall...
I need to get out, above this, above all -
Please, Father, lend me some time for myself,
cuz I'm done livin' for anyone else.

Oh, Mother Nature, can you give me a sign?
My brain is drownin' in the storm in my mind.
Let the sun come out and show me some rays
of warmth and love to brighten these days
of loneliness from being in the spotlight.
I am begging for this choice to be right
to submerge myself in this sea of dreams.
Wherever I run, they don't know what it means
to care about another, not yourself first -
A monsoon of people still I'm dyin' of thirst.
Please, Mother, tell me what I need to give.
Let the flower in my soul have light to live.
