The Search

One lonely soul on a sea of emptiness
no sense of direction, or course to take
drifting...drifting...aimlessly
confused and frighten decisions, we must make

Not knowing where life will lead
It's a gamble, we all must take
we feel we have wasted half our lives
and this time, we'll make no mistake

I know I'm not alone in this place
I can feel you, I know your pain
that's the one thing we have in common
all of these feeling are in vein

Life is unfair, and quick to change
time is the enemy, we wasted so much
like ships passing in the night
I can almost feel your touch

Our souls have crossed, and now they meet
I kiss you softly, and wipe away your tears
the darkness we felt is at last lifting
we embrace each other, defeating all our fears

The future is unclear, and hard to see
but together, we can start a new day
set our own direction in life
and let the past just fade away
