Hopelessly Lost

Bewildered, I wander this barren land
Not able to find my way
Barely even able to stand
My soul grows weary each day

Alas, I ponder, as I count each step
Now knowing which path to take
Alone in despair, I've often wept
While waiting for my heart to break

A stranger's journey, I wander this maze
Never knowing where it might lead
My mind ever trapped in a foggy haze
For direction I fervently plead

Like a ship on the ocean, I'm endlessly tossed
Reprobate from all that I see
Hopelessly lost, I journey on
Hoping to one day find me
