My name is Tom
Don't get me wrong 
I am a poet and on song
I need to write
To keep me bright
So here goes
My pen it flows
I've got plenty to say
Every single day
My name is Tom

My name is Tom
Today I'm sad
Sometimes I'm mad
In a world that is bad
I need a clear direction 
Give me some real affection
All we get is pain and war
There's no peace anymore
What are we living for
My name is Tom

My name is Tom
And I am real
I don't know how I feel
I scream and shout
But no words come out
I meditate and cry
And wonder why
The past it haunts me
The future taunts me
My name is Tom

My name is Tom
I was once a boy
But now I'm grown
I don't recall any joy
Me against the world so there 
And it didn't give a care
A battle each and every day
But I soldiered on
Come what may
Nothing more to say
My name is Tom

My name is Tom
Is there a higher power
That will save me
At the eleventh hour
I don't believe a thing
Let the angels sing
Heaven is just an illusion 
Adding to my confusion
I'm falling into the abyss
I never did really exist
My name was Tom
