For this great opportunity
To Share with you exactly how I feel
I'm not well
And I Think that I should tell you
That I got the raw end of the deal
Don't get me wrong
'Cause it's not like I blame you
I'm ashamed
Of the way I point my finger
'Cause deep down I have reaped what I have sown
Life is hard
But so is everything
Give my regards to a man who cares
If I succeed
I will save my fellow man
And if I fail I'll just stand and stare
Such is life, Lord
And I know that you're aware
That you're a drug to me
A drug, within my fear
But, I Love you
A junkie to your silence
A wise man who's words, I'll never hear
What to do
I feel as if I'm floating
Not aware or in control of what I am
God bless me
Take me out of this existence
End my role as the sacrificial lamb
Life is hard
But so is everything
Give my regards to a man who cares
If I succeed
I will save my fellow man
And if I fail I'll just stand and stare
I'll just stand and stare
Life is hard
But so is everything
Give my regards to a man who cares
If I succeed
I will save my fellow man
And if I fail I'll just stand and stare
Life is hard
But so is everything
Give my regards to a man who cares
If I succeed
I will save my fellow man
And if I fail I'll just stand and stare
I'll just stand and stare
The lyrics to Ronnie Aldrich & The London Festival Orchestra's song "Theme" express a mix of emotions and thoughts. The opening lines convey gratitude towards God for the opportunity to share one's true feelings. The singer acknowledges being unwell and believes that they have received an unfair deal in life. However, they clarify that they don't blame God for this, recognizing that sometimes life becomes chaotic on its own. The subsequent lines reveal a sense of shame for pointing fingers at others when, deep down, the singer realizes that they are facing the consequences of their own actions.
The second verse reflects on the difficulty of life itself, emphasizing the need to give regards to someone who genuinely cares. The singer contemplates their own success and failure, expressing a desire to save their fellow humans if they succeed, but also admitting that they might just stand and watch if they fail. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing the challenges of life while reaffirming the acknowledgement of others who may care.
The third verse delves into the complexity of the singer's relationship with God. They describe God as a "drug," highlighting the intoxicating and addictive nature of their connection. They admit their love for God but feel like a junkie to His silence, expressing frustration in not being able to hear His wise words. The singer seeks guidance, feeling as if they are floating and lacking control over their being. They pray for God's blessing to end their existence as a sacrificial lamb, perhaps reflecting a deep longing for relief from their struggles.
Overall, "Theme" explores themes of gratitude, personal responsibility, the challenges of life, the desire for guidance, and the complexity of one's relationship with a higher power.

Such is life, Lord
That's the nature of life, addressed to God
And I know that you're aware
And I believe you have knowledge of it
That you're a drug to me
You have a powerful influence over me
A drug, within my fear
Acting as a substance that alleviates my fears
But, I Love you
But, I have deep affection for you
A junkie to your silence
Addicted to the quiet and calmness you provide
A wise man who's words, I'll never hear
An intelligent individual whose guidance I'll never receive
What to do
Uncertainty about what actions to take
I feel as if I'm floating
Sensation of being disconnected or detached
Not aware or in control of what I am
Lacking consciousness or authority over oneself
God bless me
May God bestow favor upon me
Take me out of this existence
Remove me from this current state of being
End my role as the sacrificial lamb
Cease my position as someone who suffers for others
I'll just stand and stare
I'll simply observe without taking action
But so is everything
However, that is the case for all aspects of life
