Analysis of Lost In My Neighborhood
I'm in a search for good
I'm lost in my neighborhood
I'm lost in a maze circling blind
I'm not seen as I should
I'm not clearly understood
I'm lost in the state of my mind
I'm in a search for good
I'm seeking freshwater rudd
I'm seeking new ways to unwind
I'm not seen as I should
I'm not in a grasping mood
I'm seeking the things I can find
I'm in a search for good
I'm looking for Robin Hood
I'm looking for helpful mankind
I'm not seen as I should
I'm not finding in the wood
I'm looking underneath the rind
