I've been living with a shadow overhead,

I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed,

I've been longly for so long,

Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on.

 

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away,

just in case I ever need them again someday,

I've been setting aside time,

To clear a little space in the corner of my mind.

 

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine,

I've been searching but I just don't see the signs,

I know that it's out there,

there's gotta be something for my soul somewhere.

 

I've been looking for someone to shed some light,

Not somebody just to get me through the night,

I could use some direction,

And I'm open to your suggestions.

 

There are moments when I don't know if it's real,

Or if anybody feels the way I feel,

I need inspiration,

Not just another negotiation.
