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
