Doing the right thing

Why does doing the right thing hurt so bad?

Why do I always end up on the losing in end?

Shouldn't I come first at least once in awhile?

Why must I make all the sacrifices? 

When is it my turn to smile?

I do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.

I do what is right by the laws of the land.

I try my hardest to follow all of their commands.

I lift up my neighbors and my fellow man.

I try to do the best that I can.

I know this world doesn't revolve around me.

The sun doesn't shine out of my eyes.

I am nothing special, and never will be.

I just wish doing the right thing was easy.
