I wander through streets, both familiar and new
A stranger in my own skin, with nothing to pursue
I've lost my direction, my sense of purpose too
A compass spinning wildly, with no clue to break through
The city lights blur, a kaleidoscope of pain
A reflection of my soul, a heart that's lost its way again
I've searched for answers, for a guiding light
But the darkness closes in, and I'm consumed by night
I try to recall, the path I once did know
But memories fade, like whispers in the snow
I'm left with questions, and a heart that's sore
A sense of longing, for a place to call home once more
I search for a way out, a glimmer of hope
A light in the darkness, a beacon to cope
But the shadows whisper secrets, of a path untold
A journey through the unknown, where my heart grows old
In the silence, I hear a whisper, a gentle voice that says
"You're not alone, you're not lost, you're just astray"
A voice that guides me, through the darkness and the pain
A voice that reminds me, of the strength I've gained
I try to find my way, through the darkness and the pain
But every step I take, leads me further astray again
I'm lost in a sea, of uncertainty and doubt
A world that's spinning, with no anchor to hold on to, no way out
I'm searching for a lifeline, a beacon in the dark
A guiding light, to lead me through the heart
Of the storm that's raging, a tempest that's wild and free
A storm that's threatening, to consume me, body and soul, utterly
In this journey, I find, a strength I never knew
A resilience that's born, of facing my fears a new
I learn to let go, of the past and its pain
I find my way forward, through the darkness and the rain
I'm not the same, but I'm still me
A little wiser, a little stronger, and a little more free
I've found my way back, to a place I can call home
A place where love and hope, are the paths that I've sown
The journey's far from over, the path's still unclear
But with every step, I find my footing, my fear
Begins to fade, as I face the unknown
And find my strength, in the darkness I've sown
The road ahead, a winding stream
That flows through mountains, and valleys unseen
I'm searching for a glimpse, of the light that's ahead
A beacon to guide me, through the darkness and the dread
I've learned to walk, through the shadows and the night
To find my way, through the darkness and the light
I've learned to face, my fears and my doubts
To find my strength, in the lessons I've learned and the vows
I've learned to let go, of the past and its pain
To find my way forward, through the heartache and the strain
I've learned to forgive, myself and others too
To find my way, to a place of peace and healing a new
I've found my way, through the darkness and the pain
To a place of healing, where love and hope remain
I've learned to love, myself and others too
To find my way, to a place of peace and healing anew
A new beginning, a new chapter unfolds
A new story, a new life, a new path to hold
I'm not the same, but I'm still me
A little wiser, a little stronger, and a little more free
