Way I Am

An Old Leader, who has lost his way, asks For another Chance.

Sometime back I was the in thing,
Now I am just another fling?
I am just a puppet on a lonely string,
Who would ever want me to be king?

Revolutionaries lie in wait
Hoping for my head on a plate,
They send arrows, poison and dart
Wanting to stop my beating heart,

A long time ago, I took the road of blood,
Grew in power thro', the strength of crowd,
I always knew this day would come,
After all am I not just human scum?

Trees looked, like armies from where I stand
One of them once, now judged for who I am
To those who comprehend, I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand, take me the way I am
To command rules to bend, from where I stand
To wake up free, take the way I am.
