One can be grateful for the things one has - it doesn't mean looking back doesn't hurt... |
"No Name" Calling out For a helping hand Just trying to determine Where I stand Living in loss Lost in the past Dreaming of dreams That never did last Thinking back Producing a smile Wishing time would take me there If only for a while Back to a time Where I used to know my way Back to a time Where I enjoyed getting up each day Back to the past Where the limits the sky Back to where dreams lived Never fade nor die A place where other’s envy Left a hand pat on your back And joining of their hands Clapping, pitter-pat A time when they knew That I was going places They could tell by my determination I could see it on their faces The talk of the town I was on a roll But now they are asking What happened to that soul Not much I never went where I thought No matter how hard I tried No matter how I fought Puzzled and confused I left them in that state Because I started my life around the bases And never made it to home plate They’ll never understand Why I am where I’m at They’ll never grasp Why I had to put up my ball and bat They can’t see the picture They didn’t know what was at stake They put their trust in someone Who my dreams he did take I had my life mapped out I had high hopes But now I’m only struggling To hang on at the end of the rope All these events Really messed with my head And I’m left with who I am And that is something I do dread If you only knew who I once was Who I used to be You would like that person better You would’ve loved me I feel like I’m living Some other life than mine I guess realization will sink in Maybe take some time But this wasn’t my plan And I’m not happy here And my mixed emotions Are something I do fear I have stayed up late Whether this be wrong But I prayed all night That God would take me home I fell like my job here Ended a long time ago And how lost I truly feel You’ll never know I don’t believe in dreams In them is no purpose But life was over early Never scratched the surface I don’t believe in hope It just lets you down No matter how much you reach out You’re left with a life upside down You may not agree with my words You don’t have to – they’re for me Because this is how I feel And this is what I see |
