Where Do I Hang My Hat

Trying to figure out where I went wrong
And why must I face this world all alone
There was a time I felt I belong
There was a time I had a home 
Now the inner child is all grown
Just a lonely old man wonders along 
Trying to remember where I belong
Trying to remember the way back home  
Time is of the essence for it won't be long
I must leave this world for the unknown 
Will you share the knowledge I have shown 
For it's my destiny to let it be known 
Long after I am dead and gone 
Will you let my words live on
For all the years of feeling alone 
For the love that I have shown 
Fear and anger is all that I've known 
Desperately yearning for a mind of my own 
Maybe the next life is where I belong
Can you hear them calling me home
My soul is at peace but my mind it still roams
Looking for the love I once known 
Will you hold my heart while I am gone 
While I find a place I belong
While I find a place to call home
