When I Lost My Faith

When I lost my faith in people

I put my trust in things

To avoid the disappointment

Trusting people brings

What trust in people brings

What I've brought myself

What I've brought to others

When they hoped for someone else

I tried to do it all myself then

Surrounded by my stuff

All I found were limitations

I could not rise above

There are gadgets and contraptions

Immaculate machines

There's a program you can download now

That will even dream your dreams

It'll even dream your dreams

For a monthly fee

Clear up your complexion

You get a hundred hours free

Possessions cannot save you

The way somebody can

When I learned to care for others

Then the boy became a man

When I lost my faith in people

I lost everything

Though I lose my independence

I am a freer man
