I am not lost

I'd like to say I am not lost

but I know it isn't true

I'm stranded alone in the darkness

and I don't know what to do

I've spent my life in transit

and you know I've paid the cost

but everybody, repeat after me

I am not lost

I must keep up my appearance

that everything's just fine

but there's a storm  a-brewing

inside of my own mind

I try hard to do my best

I've got my fingers crossed

I repeat, over and over,

I am not lost

          but I am

          lost and out of place

          maybe you can

          get me out from this race

everything is perfect

there are no problems here

hope is there inside of me

until it disappears

I tell myself it's my own life

of whom I am the boss

this is what I tell myself

I am not lost

maybe there'll be a future

and I'll find out where I am

I'm looking for a reason

one that I can understand

I need a way to hold on

as in this world I'm tossed

but if I asked, I'll say

I am not lost

I've been looking all day

I am not lost
