Lost Sheep

It’s a world of contradiction And the truth is hard to see. Yes, the path is full of dangers Leading where I would not be. I’ve been wrong in my decisions When my thoughts were not of you. And my footsteps only falter And I fail in all I do… And I fail in all I do… I’m no good at contemplation. Meditation’s not my bag. And trying to find the forest Through the trees is just a drag. Am I wrong in my assumptions? Can I find some solid ground? Cast your loving gaze upon me! Lift me high when I am down! Lift me high when I am down! For my heart grows ever restless... Yes. I know it’s a cliché. But the truth is there within us And we miss it every day… So, I halt here on my journey. Try so hard to look around For the true and faithful shepherd. Can this poor lost sheep be found? Can this poor lost sheep be found? There’s a wide and lonely distance Separating you and me. And the fault lies here within me. That’s so obvious to see. So, I listen for your voice now. Won’t you tell me all’s okay? Take my hand and stay beside me. Walk together on the way… Walk together on the way…
