I awake to find no one around but me
I get up and walk with no plan in mind
I think to myself what it is and what shall be
If I search to discover and seek what I’m meant to find

Oh, the streets are so empty and endless these days
Not a soul full of joy or grace in sight
I could present myself different if only I were careless
But I wish not to embarrass those I hold so tight

Chorus:  Where do I wander when all paths are crossed
Where do I trample to find what’s been lost
There’s a trail to righteousness and one to greed
And when I meet their crossroads I’ll find what I need 

Every face I encounter is blank like slate 
No expression from hairline down to the chin
But, then again, no one here is ranked
Nobody loses, nobody wins

I met one man who was subjected to a life
Acted out the brand-name that he wore on his chest
Spoon-fed from the cradle never dealing with strife
The way he looked, he thought, made him better than the best

Chorus

All people trying to be all things at all times
Get lost in confusion about who they are
Not all poets rhyme all the time it’s so sublime
And the deepest wounds leave no visible scars

So now I look back upon the road of truth and lies
Wondering if I should learn to live or live to learn
With arms akimbo I glance up towards the skies
I don’t believe to understand but if I don’t I might burn

	Chorus
