I remember a time when my heart would sing out
I remember the joy and what life was about
But something has happened to that boy I knew
I wish I could find him but I haven’t a clue
I search for the happiness that was taken away
I search for my heart, every night, every day
A search that’s exhausting, that gnaws at the mind
I search for myself, for my heart I must find
It’s a lonely road but the path holds just me
It’s a journey of rebirth, of trying to break free
But I will find my heart, somewhere on that road
And remember once again of days long ago
To those people who try and get hurt none-the-less
In trying to help me in this time of duress,
Please don’t give up, remember me then
Back in the days, when my smile came from within
I’m trying to find my way back to that place
Where laughter and joy put a smile on my face
Where friends and family meant the world to me
I pray that I find it, I pray to be free
I get scared sometimes of what I’ve become
Will my heart stay like stone? But I can’t succumb
I have to stay strong for what lies ahead
I have nothing to fear, I have nothing to dread
The search for myself has been a long, lonely one
But I will find me and lead me back to the sun
To a place not so distant, a place not unknown
To a place I remember, a place I call home…
