When I Grow Up

Living in my troubled past I ponder the road not taken I thought I'd found my way at last Only to be mistaken The wayside holds my fallen dreams But yet I can't turn back That's the way it always seems Never finding what I lack Regret is now my shadow's name He follows close behind The two of us become the same The blind leading the blind Hope's become a foreign place A place I cannot go No plan to fix the things I face I wander to and fro "When I grow up I want to be" These words never seemed so real Without a purpose I didn't see That I'd be standing still
