Someone told me
Someone told me one day I'd learn about life
The poisonous thoughts I have now about
Timing humanity and prosperity
Someone said today is always your day
But tomorrow comes round yet I feel the same...
Someone asked me a question
And I remained true
My thoughts about timing or finding whats new
Humanity we prosper and better ourselves
Someone told me I'd get there no matter how hard
Who told me I'd love
As everyone once had
Who ever told me that poisoned me
Who told me I'd feel
What its like to be secure
Someone told me I deserved it
There remains nothing to be scored
Someone told me and warned me
By wishing on a star
You would sometimes find love
But you cant touch it from this far
Who told me I'd love
And get the same in return
Coz I thought I could feel it
Without it causing such harm
