No I am not,
nor have I ever been
Do not mistake me,
I am but one of many men
 
I care not to know you
Nor do I need your remorse
I shall remain inside me
And stay the steady course
 
Again you have mistaken me
for yet another
I am not the one you seek
Neither your father nor brother
 
I can do little
for your misery or pain
I struggle myself
Simply to realize gain
 
Please don't expect
more than I have
I give you my all
for a soothing salve
 
Would that I could
But ye know I cannot
You are once more mistaken,
my identity is not
 
You seem a worthy fellow,
earnest and true
Would you hear my words
And do what you can do
 
Be no more mistaken
I am alone as it must be
I am only a worthless
Can't you tell, can't you see?
 
It is your mistaken identity.
