'Compare nowhere,

Dare to be rare,

It's you out there."

Is there anybody there?

Is there anyone anywhere?

Is There anything you wish to share?

I Tried looking elsewhere,

They didn't seem to care.

I was living a Nightmare,

It didn't seem fair.

Looking at me with a blank stare,

Completely unaware,

I see the masks they wear.

"Compare nowhere,

Dare to be rare,

It's Time to be a pair."

We declare an end to despair,

we are everywhere,

we are Everybody breathing air,

We are sorry for the cross you bare.

The dreams that gave quite a scare,

We just needed you to be aware.

So we can repair,

The tare somewhere,

Caused by psychological warfare.

"Compare nowhere,

Dare to be Rare,

Life is a Love affair.
