Deviation

And the place was burning
Where once my cradle stood
Memories still yearning
For what my childhood took 

In peaceful shelter I may rest 
Just instincts of salvation
O`deviate from the within
But hate I may not feel 

A nations decay within my eyes 
Imploring still in vague seclusion
A tear from a child's eye- obeying still
But fate just ties together

What's my flesh ? 
And what my skin ? 
What my privilege ? 
And what a sin ? 

Have I come to stay
What I can never be ? 
Have I come to beg
For a new identity ? 
....to blame... 

O` I have tried to fly 
But I did not have wings
I have tried to speak
But I did not know how

Like a new-born child
I have tried to trust
Reaching out
But my cradle burning

A nations decay within my eyes 
Imploring still in vague seclusion
A tear from a child's eye- obeying still
But fate just ties together

Just memories today
Yes, I exist, but do I also live ? 
I must deviate from the within
But hate I may not feel
