On the Outside Looking In

I can barely hear the news on the small T.V.

Over the din
 And all the other people living
In this place worse than any I’ve ever been
Feeling the same way I’m feeling
Sad and alone, I don’t want to hide
 I’m stuck on the inside Just looking
in On the T.V. screen that’s so hard to see
I don’t understand why this is the way
 It has to be I never thought
That this would be me Watching my home
burn on this broken T.V. Crowded
 With all the other people living with me
All the tears I see being shed For all the
men that have bled And the women that
 have tried to mend The broken hearts
of their children to no end The war on my
 home seems unwilling to bend
To leave us in peace For that I pray, at least
