When i was questioned, i shook my head and stared I was traveling alone, i had nothing to declare He asked how i knew for sure And i would tell everyone i knew If it would hurt to know the truth (chorus) I can be thankful to be alive but i despise this life In all my years at best,ive only learned just to survive But when i look around you, i understand why you believe I see your evidence of god, all around me You have so therefore you are but i have not Youve seen the evidence of god but i have not and i have none (When he asked me) i shook my head and laughed I never had a taste for life And i felt there was no turning back Would i try to take their hope? Replace it with reality Exchange their joy with my bleak view And leave them miserable like me (Chorus 2) I have searched and i have tried to find a place where i can be I love my homeland dearly but never carved a place in society But when i look around you i understand why you believe I see your evidence of god, all around me You have so therefore you are, but i have not You are too rich for hate, and i am too poor to love

I heard someone once say one the best things about Woods' music is David Gold's brutally honest lyrics, he sings about living without hope but also wishing he has some.

I believe it is more about finding hope where there appears to be none. Sometimes hope comes in simple forms. Someone saying hello, offering you a drink, etc... That moment when some other person makes you realize, you aren't invisible or insignificant... Those moments are where hope lives... It's why I am still alive.

Neither was David I think. In his catalogue, he comes across--from my point of view--anyway as an agnostic.

Good for you! Keep that mentality as long as you can. The older I get, the more I realize just how negative and jaded our society has become (or perhaps always has been) and I find myself agreeing with the line "...I despise this life" more and more. To stay positive throughout life is truly a victory! And I hope I can claw my way back from the despair I'm feeling and be a human who's a positive influence on others.
