Nothing Wrong With Me

Nothing Wrong With me

Through changing, rearranging
sometimes we lose our way.
We search for and we can't find
the things we long to say.

So we hide within ourselves
and pray the world don't see.
While whispering to our heart
there's something wrong with me.

A part of us the heart of us
so filled with utter longing.
Wondering what has happened to
our sense of once belonging.

Trying hard just to not give in
but tired of the fight.
We shrink back in the shadows
that come with dark of night.

And there our search continues
in the shadows we can't see.
Praying no one notices
there's something wrong with me.

And then one day the light will shine
brighter than it did before.
It seems the search is over
not in darkness anymore.

Reaching into our tomorrows
and things still yet to be.
Crying from the rooftops
there's nothing wrong with me.

Again, you have treated us with the kind of write that tugs the heartstrings. 7. hugs!
