Hopes and Dreams

I've lived so many lives, love so many times
Been on top an fallen over and over again
I've seen the best and the worst
That the world has to offer
I've been told that good people prosper
While that bad people never win
But in the years I've lived and learned
Nobody escapes from sin

So much beauty to be experienced in life
Yet we only dwell on what brings us pain
Love is suppose to conquer all
And Life is what you make it
I've been told these things over and over
But I only believe what I see
Bad things happen for no reason
Some say that its destiny

I wasn't always such a pessimist, I had hopes and dreams
Till life kicked me in the face, and rage took hold of me
I didn't always have such negative thoughts, I really did believe
That if you tried and followed your heart anything could be achieved
Then one day I woke up and my life had passed me by
My hopes and dreams were shattered, my life had been denied
I no longer known what else to do,Nothing else to try
The only thing that's left for me, is to give in and die
