The Package

I’ve been waiting all day for the delivery

Of a special package which will stop the misery

That life has been as far back as I have known

There is something wrong with whoever is at home

/

The Package must come

To keep me alive

I need the Package to arrive

Soon no matter who It’s from

/

Please Package please

Come and put me at ease

Please Package please

Come and set me free

/

The people I’ve known almost all will pay any price

For the Package as it melts their troubles like ice

It can make the Chinese not care if there is any rice

In the end as with all cures there is too heavy a price

/

Please Package please

Come and put me at ease

Please Package please

Come and set me free

/

If there was any other thing in this World that worked

Anything like the Package with perks, I would be no jerk

And see everyone as they are, not needing any work

But I don’t know how to stop wanting a perk

Or how to quit acting like a jerk

/

Please Package please

Come and put me at ease

Please Package please

Come and set me free

/

A friend of mine says he can tell me why all I do is cry

Without a Package sigh, if I quit believing some lies

I have about myself but the pain of looking is hard to try

And I don’t know why, but everyone prefers to fry

/

Please Package please

Come and put me at ease

Please Package please

Come and set me free

/

Please Package please

Please come just in time

So I can forget what is mine

And try another climb

/

In the end everyone agrees only Love will set us free

And replace the Package and create a new me

But I have never known Love, Love I have never seen

And the world has always just looked very mean

/

So until Love arrives in some different Package

Or if my friend is right it cannot be wrapped or written

Or given or taken just as no one can possess the sky

But giving up all that I am is too hard so I just cry

/

Please Package please

Come and put me at ease

Please Package please

Come and set me free

/

From whatever I am running from

From whatever truths I must hide

Please Package please

Just let me have another ride

/

Please Package please

Though I know you are not nice

Please Package please

Or I will really melt like ice

/

So we all pay any price

For any Package that looks nice

As long as it doesn’t look like me

Will any Package ever really set

/

Any of us free from our “Me”

As everyone knows that “I” is a lie

And with no Package or sleep we fry

No one seems to care or know why

/

We are afraid of what we will find

If we look at who is really unkind

We know it’s the mind but no one will

End all tries until the hate we think

/

Keeps us all on ice finally ends it all

When the whole World fries.
