A poem dedicated to those who have tried and failed, then tried again.
Who am I?

Who am I?
When I wonder at night?
When no one is around?
Who am I?

Who are you?
When you stand there,
When you don't care
Who are you?

Who are they?
On the outside
Never between us?
Who are they?

What is it?
That causes the pain
That brings me down
What is it?

Who cares?
Is the question asked
From the outside
Who cares?

Why can't I?
Stand against the odds.
Be the one in charge.
Why can't I?

Why do you?
Think you're better
When you've never been there
Why do you?

What happens?
To me, to what I know.
To them, to those who don't
What happens?

Who is it?
That changes me.
That releases me.
Who is it?

Who will?
Love me. save me
Die for me,
Who will?

I am.
The one you don't see
The one you don't know
I am.

You are.
The confused, the wanderer,
The one who I can help.
You are.

They are,
The lost, the angry
The mindless, the searchers,
They are.

It is,
Hate, death.
Separation, Sin,
It is

I care.
But I can't help you.
I can't change you.
But I care.

I can.
Stop the unstoppable
Move the unmovable
I can.

You do.
Because you don't know.
Because you haven't felt.
You do.

Nothing happens.
Unless I change it.
Unless I fix it,
Nothing happens.

Who is it?
I am the one,
But I need help.
Who is it?

He is the one.
The one who saves, who loves.
He is the one who died for me
He is the one.
