Have mercy on me for I have sinned.
I have dared to dream of happiness
I gazed into a cloudless sky
Imagining that I might love.
Forgive my sin of vanity
For thinking I might be beautiful
For trying to live as dreams and dust
Free to fly and be joyful.
Have mercy on me for I have sinned.
I have thought I could have opinions.
On love, on life, on politics.
I have sinned this way for years.
Forgive my sin of philosophy
Gazing about the darkness of night
Wondering the meaning of life
Or perhaps my purpose in it.
Forgive my sins of humanity
For I am weak and frail of discipline.
I cannot survive on simple things.
I must have the best to be pleased.
Please...
Have mercy on me, for I have sinned
