For a Smile

Trying hard not to scream and fight
Trying hard not to break in tears
I don't want to argue now
Why must we always hate and war

Sometimes I feel like I am dead
Caught behind these caged bars
I want to shout, scream and cry
But all I can do is sit and wait

For a smile
A happy thought
A wonderful dream
For love that weighs more than hate
For love that weighs more than sorrow
And you, do you love me?

Why, oh why, must we war?
Please, oh please, listen to me!
Help me work things out...
All I can do is sit and wait.
