the struggle
     
     the struggle goes on,
          where will it end?
     i need some help,
          please be a friend.

     the philosophical struggle,
          that we all go through.
     i'm going insane,
          but what can i do?  

     i struggle in vain,
          pondering life.
     i'm struggling on,
          in constant strife.

     the struggle continues,
          trying to find meaning
     to this giant struggle,
          toward which i'm leaning.

     if living is easy,
          with eyes closed,
     why must these questions 
          be proposed?

     if i seem to be lost,
          my head in a cloud,
     please let me be,
          no reality allowed.

     i'm comfortably numb,
          some spell i'm under,
     i'm amazed at all,
          and filled with wonder.

     life is a game,
          we all must play.
     struggling through,
          from day to day.

     the struggle exists,
          wherever you may be.
     please help me out,
          please set me free.
          
     please help me out,
          please be a friend.
     the struggle goes on,
          where will it end?
