Point of View

Song I wrote a while ago and recently rediscovered. Sorry, no video preview this time.

"Point of View"

When your friends abandoned you,

I was there

I loved you when you felt

nobody cared

But still I feel as though I cried

those tears for you in vain...

The only trait I hold with pride,

you curse and scorn its name...

Did I not feel your distaste for me?

(I am a human, just like you!)

Do I not share the air you breathe?

(We're just the same, through and through!)

We're not so different,

you and me.

I fought with you against our toughest

enemies

I shared with you the sweetest of our

victories

But the highest of your moral goals,

I cannot be part of...

What you claim to hate the most

is everything I love...

Did I not feel your disdain for me?

(I am a human, just like you!)

Do I not share the pain you feel?

(It's just a different point of view!)

And when my heart

broke in two,

Did it not bleed

enough for you

To see that I feel

the things you do:

Love and hate;

Right and wrong;

I still have morals, just like you.

They don't come

from your God,

That doesn't make them any less true

to me.

Did I not feel your distaste for me?

Do I not share the air you breathe?
Have I not felt your disdain for me?

Do I not share the pain you feel?

We all suffer in this life;

This is how I explain my strife.

So what diverges me and you?

It's just a different point of view.
