Can I Be Important?

Have You ever felt the need to be important?

It could be such a blessing in disguise.

But always a constant.

A little more intense than something dormant.

You would win once or twice, and even receive a prize.

Have you ever felt the need to be important?

Maybe I'm just lonely and it's all a big stunt.

Something I might do when troubles arise.

But always a constant.

Maybe I just need a blunt.

Something I always want to do when my baby cries.

Have you ever felt the need to be important?

I just feel like I am part of a battlefront.

Every time I try to fight my emotion dies.

But always a constant.

This has to be a crazy hunt.

For something greater than the situation that has arisen.

Have you ever felt the need to be important?

But always a constant?
