private's still wait for skipper.. penguin's of Madagascar
So am I still waiting

Private looked at the sky still waiting for Skipper.

For this world to stop hating

"Why.. why..." Private whispered.

Can't find a good reason

I don't see why he had to leave, Private thought with a tear in his eye.

Can't find hope to believe in

"i don't know what to believe in anymore.." he whispered once again.

Drop dead a bullet to my head

Something shot past private's head.

Your words are like a gun in hand

Kowalski dragged private in the HQ. "why didn't you move moron!?" He snapped. Private wiped a tear from his face.

You can't change the state of the nation 

"Kowalski?" Private said. "What?"  "is Skippah coming back?"  "No!"

We just need some motivation

"Why not?" Private asked with a frown. "There isn't a reason why." Kowalski mumbled.

Three times I see no conviction

"I don't see why though...." Private said quietly.

Just lies and more contradiction

"He said he'd come back!" Kowalski shouted. "but he lied!"

So tell me what would you say

"Did you ever think he was dead Kowalski?" Private asked in a angry tone.

I'd say its up... to me

"No..." Kowalski said softly.

So am I still waiting

"Might have been waiting for nothing." Private said with a sigh.

For this world to stop hating

"I think he forgot about us." Kowalski said in a sad tone.

Can't find a good reason

"What? how could he forget about us?" Private asked, his beak wide open.

Can't find hope to believe in

"I don't know what to believe anymore!" Kowalski shouted, burying his face in his flippers.

Ignorance and Understanding

"I understand Kowalski.. but we can't just give up hope." Private said put a flipper on Kowalski's shoulder.

We're the first ones to jump in line

Kowalski looked up.

Out of step for what we believe in

"How can you be sure of that?" He asked.

But whos left? To start the pleading

"Well..... he could be still alive or lost..." Private said looking around.

How far will we take this

"Skipper doesn't get lost." Kowalski said. Private shook his head in a annoyance.

It's not hard to see through the sickness

"Or he could be sick." Private said without thinking. "What if he is sick?" Kowalski asked with panic in his voice.

So tell me what would you say

"Um.. i don't really know.." Private said removing his flipper.

I'd say its up... to me

"If he's sick.. we'll need to find him!" Kowalski said.

So am I still waiting

"And i was worried.." Private said rolling his eyes.

For this world to stop hating

"Are you coming or not?" Kowalski asked, very annoyed. "excuse me?" private asked.

Can't find a good reason

"Just answer the question!" Kowalski snapped.

Can't find hope to believe in

"I do not believe in dying!" Private shouted.

This can't last forever

"You can't stay here forever." Kowalski said folding his flippers.

Time won't make things better

"Staying is better then leaving" Private said, glaring at kowalski.

I feel so alone

"Quit being a chicken, Private!" Kowalski shouted.

Can't help myself

"Well.. chicken''s live." Private said.

And no one knows

"Until they get eaten." Kowalski said with humor in his voice.

If this is worthless

"You can't make me go!" Private grumbled.

Tell me... so

Kowalski stepped forward. "You want a bet?" He asked narrowing his eyes.

What have we done

"I don't think i do but I'm still not going." Private said Nervously.

We're in a war that can't be won

Kowalski dragged Private out of the HQ. "Hey thats not fair! it was a question!" private whined.

This can't be real

"Well i can't leave you alone." Kowalski said.

I don't know what to feel

"And you choose the 'drag me' option?" Private asked. "It wasn't a option!" Kowalski said rolling his eyes.

So am I still waiting 

"Waiting in the HQ would've been a better option." Private mumbled.

For this world to stop hating 

Kowalski dropped private. "Oww! what was that for?" Private said rubbing his head. "For whining." Kowalski replied.

Can't find a good reason 

"That's not a good reason!" Private whined.

Can't find hope to believe in

"Where are we?" Private asked looking around them. "The Grave Alley.."Kowalski said looking at a pale body. Private look at the pale body and his mouth dropped open.
