Where Do I Belong

The sun comes up to start the day
I feel the warmth of it’s rays
I’m searching for the words to say
Something seems to get in the way.

I brought back to memories of my sister
I understand how much I miss her
A teardrop comes and then it goes
Where does the time go nobody knows?

I think about the journey I am on
The path is before me but then it’s gone
I wonder did I take too long
I just can’t find where I belong.

I wander through the rest of the day
I get lost in the words you say
We don’t have tomorrow let’s live for today
I begin to see things a different way.

I take an inventory of what I received
The world has brought me to my knees
I look to the sky and ask God please
I turn to run but I just freeze.

It’s funny how it all works out
Understanding arises from the shadows of doubt
I turn to speak but start to shout
What is my life all about?
