Lost.



Wandering through life
Looking for acknowledgment
Thinking everything is strife
Wanting some accomplishment

Waiting on something
That will never come to you
Wondering why everything
Seems so hard to get through

Dreading every morning
Dreaming every night
No one gives you any warning
There's hardly any day to highlight

Everything's a drag
Everything feels horrible
There never seems to be a white flag
Happiness seems unrestorable

Everything is tough
Life's getting worse
Everything seems rough
You feel like you have a curse

Then you find
A Book which tells you
To always be kind
And always try to pull through

It tells of a Mighty One
Who will lead you home
And when it's said and done
You will never be alone

If you follow
The Book's instruction
You will not feel so hollow
You will have no obstruction

You will be
Forever free
If you open your eyes and see
You are a sinner just like me
