Is This the Real World? # 65

Is this my fate, I feel it happening again,
I felt so helpless when it all began...
I risked my life so U can raise your flag,
now people think I'm nuts in a bag...

Is this the real world I fought so hard 2 believe in?
and I thought all of my troubles would come 2 an end...
Is this the real world filled with sorrow and pain?
a selfish world where only the strong remain...

I've been set away in a silent room,
watching bright dreams turn in2 gloom...
I want 2 reach out 2 the stars in the sky,
a place where only love would apply...

Chorus

Is this land of ours the land of the free?
or is my crazy mind just getting back at me?...
How am I supposed 2 feel secure?
tell me, how much more can I endure?...

Chorus.
