Flesh and Blood

Why must I be this flesh and blood?
A body so weak even time reaps
A body so weak my heart even sleeps
Why must I be this flesh and blood?
Why must I be so weak and frail?
My blood runs red in endless rivers
My bones will break in endless slivers
Why must I be so weak and frail?

Why must I be this flesh and blood
And weak and frail and timid and tired?
Why can't I be strong and brave and full of life
Made stronger than flesh and blood?
Why am I doomed to flesh not desired?
Why am I doomed to a life of strife?
