Guilty as Charged

by Randy Smith

As I walk through the halls of life
I am guilty of many things which are my plight

With some I am guilty of being a fool
But nobody told me there were any rules

With other is is lust that has caused my plight
But with me, this lust just feels so right

And to some I am a nut it is plain to see
For that is the only side of me they see

And then there are those who see the serious side
It comes when I want to be close and be friends that's why

But to those who know me, I will tell you now
I am guilty as charged and then somehow

Being guilty of trying to be a friend
to all that I meet, this cannot be a sin

For this I am I am willing to pay the price
because having friends is what I need in life.
