Beyond Our Suffering

  • Bound to learn the hard way
    This is the human condition
    There is nothing that can be said
    To stop us from making mistakes
    When I look to myself as a source of ending pain
    No matter how many times before I've failed

    It seems our problems solve themselves
    When we look beyond us to those truly in hell

    The more I focus on myself
    Then the more helpless that I become
    So why not erase this point of view?
    My suffering is trivial
    Compared to those who know real agony

    It seems our problems solve themselves
    When we look beyond us to those truly in hell
    It seems our problems solve themselves
    When we look beyond our suffering

    My trials seem insignificant now

    Why won't we look beyond us?
    Why won't we look beyond our despair?
    It seems our problems solve themselves
    When we look to those truly in hell

    Personal redemption cannot change the world
    Unless we lay down our lives for those who still suffer Writer/s: JORDAN D. MANCINO, JOSH GILBERT, PHILLIP J. SGROSSO, SAMUEL NICHOLAS HIPA, TIMOTHY LAMBESIS
