Sometimes It Seems...

It seems...

You take away the ones who should stay;
And you make some of us stay
when we want to go away.
I wonder why this is so;
I wonder why I can’t go;
I wonder...
Who are you, anyway?

Is it really God who is doing the taking and the leaving;
Or have you left this puzzle up to those believing
that there is an answer to our grieving
out there, somewhere?
Does anyone care?
Is anyone out there?
Where are you, anyway?

Some say our Hell is on earth;
Some say our Heaven is on earth.
I say, I am tired of wondering where, and when,
my life will either end or begin again!
I need to know
so that I can go...
Why won’t you help me find my way?

Maybe I’m already gone, already on some ‘other’ side.
And if I am, how many sides have I already tried?
I want to choose where I reside;
I want to decide;
I want to be satisfied;
I’m tired of this ride...
Why won’t you give me any answers?

It seems...

No one is listening...
