*When I'm Gone*

*9/11*

I am suppose to be the solider
that holds the whole world on my shoulders
in this society growing weaker and older
I've fallen from grace
too late to save face

I smile and try to hide
all of this mistrust and anger inside
I grit my teeth and hold my tongue back
from spilling out all of the lies
the ones that bring me back to a time
when all I wanted was the world to be mine
I've fallen

I'm suppose to be the brave solider
that never cries
never sheds a tear, not in this life time
I can't think of what I've lost
I can't remember what I felt that day
when the skies fell down
right before my very own face

I wish I can scream aloud
snap back to reality
take the ground from right under me
be one of Uncle Sam's right hand man
play the role of God
never look back
never think about the past
I wish I wasn't part of this world
this forgotten world
where all I can remember is that
I'm a forgotten solider from a glory of long ago.
