I'm Alone Widout Peace

Nobody knows it's empty

This smile I wear.

The real one is left in the past;

Because peace has left me there.

Nobody knows I'm crying,

They won't even see my tears.

When they think that I'm laughing,

I still wish harmony were here.

Nobody know it's painful,

They think that I'm strong,

They say that this won't kill me,

But I wonder if they are wrong.

Nobody knows I'm praying,

That peace will change my mind.

They think that I had,

When peace left me behind.

Nobody knows I miss it,

They think I feel set free.

But I feel I'm bound with chains,

Trapped in this huge mystery.

Nobody knows I need it,

They say I can do it on my own.

But they don't know I'm crying

When without peace, I'm alone.
