God forgive me for wanting your wife

And the possessions that he has and own

Forgive me please for wanting his life

As I have nothing and I feel so alone.

I live my life through my dreams and lies

I have nothing and I want another mans prize.

God forgive me for wanting to be like him

I am a man and I have nothing at all

Once though I had something but now my life is grim

And a job long ago that I can still barely recall.

But for him and his life their is jealousy

As I leave nothing behind, but he’ll leave a legacy.

God forgive me for the life that I live

And forgive me for wanting to be someone else

Though for greatness I have no motive

And in life I seek no riches or wealth.

All I want is to live off the dreams of others

I want to be nourished and cared for as by my mother.

God forgive me for something that I am not

And please forgive me for something that I will never be

As other men’s dreams and wishes I had sought

But for me I know it will never become my reality.

So I pretend and pretend as I put on my act

What other men own and have I certainly do lack

God forgive me for wearing the clothes of another man

Please forgive me as you listen to my prayer

As I am not happy with the way that I am

Because when I am around no one sees me there.

But then for me one day my judgement will await

And then God; will I walk or crawl to my final fate.
