Lost among the brightest lights
In the Universe
I find myself invisible
But this isn’t the first time

Illuminating structures
Demand their place be fine
But do I have a place for me
That I can say is mine

Such a tiny speck 
To be or not to be
Does anyone know who I am
In this deep and endless sea

Waves crashing over me
Keeping me from rising up
No ship to climb aboard
And make my way home

I’m drenched to the bone
Cold as all hell
Do you know the words I speak
Cuz I really can’t tell

I stumble over everything
Meaning and intent
Age has grown closer
Friends are more distant

Does anyone need a place
To lay down their head
Someplace to call their home
A warm and nice bed

Does anyone need a friend
Someone who makes mistakes
Someone who finds his time 
Has gone somewhere else

Time is a taskmaster
We are made to obey
Time flies when you’re having fun
But, won’t you stay

The journey isn’t impossible
But alone seems so bleak
I’m told that GOD is with me
But where is HE when I seek

I find it rather quiet
Though clanging noise I dread
Too much going on
Makes it hard to hear what’s being said

Do I have a place 
In this universe
My own little corner
Of the world

Or am I too needy
To think of this for me
Or am I just greedy
Only thinking of myself

To find a place among the stars
A little piece of land
Something out of the way
Where beaches are still made of sand

Not run over by man and machine
A place where things are new
Where I can sit and talk awhile
Just me and you

I know that people are in need
But this is my only dream
All the rest have gone away
Or, so it seems

How shall I be a noble man
And achieve many things
The mind is sharp to do small things
But the body is tired of being

Old and slow
Sore and tired
Feeling as if
I’m stuck in a mire

But here I am not a noble man
Achievements undisclosed
Fall apart again today
A book upon a shelf
