Impoverished - Hollow Heart

Across the world in the blink of an eye

On a journey to seek new breaths of life

Self searching in foreign lands

Hoping to be a better man

Poverty, no wealth in sight

I search for a new beginning

The aspiration of what I might do here

Will leave a legacy in my own mind and heart

Outcasted from their own society

These people have been given no chance

Across the world in the blink of an eye

On a journey to seek new breaths of life

Self searching in foreign lands

Hoping to be a better man

Losing myself in these wastelands

Losing hope in humanity

Who am I to teach

When I have never really lived

And I am left with nothing to choose

And nowhere to hide

And then I hear these words from impoverished youth

Where I’m poor in wealth

I’m rich in knowledge

I can never forget these words

I cannot lose sight

Of what is real in my life

And who would think

And who would think

That such few words

Could have such meaning
