Perhaps we won't make it
Or perhaps we will perhaps
The sky will fall when north
Korea decides it has had enough
Of feeling small - then it won't
Matter who slept with who or
When or whose fault it is or who
Loves who for whatever reason
I am angry I know that but if
The truth be told I wanted out
Too that way I would never
Have to disclose and I could
Blame the downfall on another
Not on me and I could stand straight
And proud and no one would know
My sin of pride, my shame of finances
My pain when the lights go out
Perhaps I can try to be a woman
Who doesn't feel the world needs her
Just the man whose leg keeps her
Safe and still at night - perhaps this
Will come to pass or perhaps the world
As we know will end and we start again
