Bewildered
It’s hard to believe in myself, Lord, in these times of tribulation
Can’t stand that you’re turning into someone else in frustration
I’ve been extremely bewildered for so long
How can I belong? Was I in the wrong?
It’s difficult sometimes to pick yourself up from the hard, cold cement
And start over again...
Can’t stand the aftershocks of lament and the dire need to repent
And start over again...
How can I start over again?
Rewind for a time and then
Make a plan to change
Change is a challenging chore
We appear to be strange,
But we strive to begin to hope and dream all the more
All the more
All the more
I’ve been extremely bewildered for so long
How can I belong? Was I in the wrong all along?
Figuring you out
Is like stopping the rainstorm from occurring out of nowhere
My mind’s doubt
Seems to make me feel tattered and torn in utter despair
I’ve been immensily bewildered for so long
How can I belong? Am I just a temporary song?
It’s about time I start all over again
I start all over again
I start over again
Start over again
Over again
Again
Recycling the thoughts of grief
Looking for a cure of mere relief
Walk the road of recovery with me
Endure the hardships of issues aplenty
Moving forward is not easy at all
We should be happy and stand tall
I could bet to differ if I was in negativity’s hold
I would have to be this strong, handsome warrior that’s so bold
I don’t want to put up a fight
I just want to have peace in my tiresome life
I don’t want to put up a fight
I just want to have peace amongst the strife
It’s about time I start over again
And begin a lifetime of positivity’s zen
Ten times ten,
I have been left to simply wander
I wonder again
Why am I bewildered? I ponder...
Come on and lift me higher
Come shine a little brighter
Be a truth-bearer, not a liar
Vanish away vain lust and desire
I’ve been fighting the emotional fight for quite a while now
Again, I tell you I don’t know what you’ve been through to the core
Just so that you know, I am trying to look after you somehow
What do you expect of me? Am I bound to be rejected once more?
I recognize the aches and pains of the past, being a disgrace
Connects with my lack of strength and being laid to waste away
I realize that I go through so much suffering to be in last place
Was lost until I was free in your embrace that drains away dismay
I tried my best to believe in myself in these countless years of fears and tears
Can’t understand the reason you changed from being good to bad as it appears
I’ve been greatly bewildered for a long, long time and reality hits so hard this time
That it’s about time I grow up and face my fears from summertime to wintertime
