Soul Searching<\/p>\n
You are always going from town to town.
\nOne job to another. Whatever you found.
\nNo permanent roots. It was not your thing.
\nYou were not really into anything.<\/p>\n
Just not ready yet to settle down.
\nYou still kept one foot on the ground.
\nPaycheck to paycheck was your thing.
\nYou weren\u2019t looking for a wedding ring.<\/p>\n
Oh,—Have you wondered about it at all?
\nAre you worried about a fall?
\nThose odd feelings that you sometimes get.
\nThose feelings that you cannot forget.
\nAre they almost like a pain to you?
\nYet, there is never any follow through.<\/p>\n
You decided to make a different fate.
\nSo, you moved to a different state.
\nDifferent people, different jobs.
\nYet, you were still feeling odd.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re like someone waiting for a call.
\nBut, there is nothing out there at all.
\nYou\u2019re inner self has needs to fulfill.
\nYet, you have resisted it with your will.<\/p>\n
Oh,—Have you wondered about it at all?
\nAre you worried about a fall?
\nThose odd feelings that you sometimes get.
\nThose feelings that you cannot forget.
\nAre they almost like a pain to you?
\nYet, there is never any follow through.<\/p>\n
Could that feeling be loneliness?
\nNo close relations can lead to this.
\nDo you feel that something is missing?
\nIs there anything that feels uplifting?<\/p>\n
Do you ever feel incomplete?
\nAre you searching for a special treat?
\nDo you think you can bring it around?
\nBy continuing to roam from town to town?<\/p>\n
Oh,—Have you wondered about it all?
\nAre you worried about a fall?
\nThose odd feelings that you sometimes get.
\nThose feelings that you cannot forget.
\nAre they almost like a pain to you?
\nYet, there is never any follow through.<\/p>\n
