I made many promises that I kept not
For I was a soil that never supports grass
I was a valley in which waters ran not
I was a mountain whose height is unknown
I am a stranger, a foreigner in an unknown land
Because I knew not myself, I was a wandering soul
I have had to be wrong for me to be right
I have followed ways of the East
But all my life I have been living in the west
Many times I have had a mistaken identity
Because I often looked at the left in order to see the right
I am torn mentally, spiritually and physically
Life has taught me never to live faithfully
For after all, the world has humans but lacks humanity
Read your scriptures, have your conclusions
Gossip, dance, afford laughter and smiles
All I do is assume dumbness and stay numb
For I am a wandering soul
I have cried and I have been pained many times
I have been heartbroken most by those I least
Expected
I have lost battles I believed that I could win
I have been betrayed by my mind, heart and people
But amid all, I have danced to the tune of
Greatness!
I have stood up every time I fell
For I always fell facing the skies
Then stood up
No weapon formed against me shall stop me
For I am just a wandering soul
