Analysis of No one's son
He sits in the shadows; a frown on his face.
Wondering How, he's come to this place? A place in his past of confusion and doubt;
Not knowing a future, or what life's about!
Alone in those shadows, cold and afraid!
Not knowing answers to prayers that he's prayed?
He wonders if life is really worth living?
Not happy at all with the hand he's been given!
I am that one; the one I call He!
I am the answer, questioning me!
