Empty, empty is every word
from my lips
Trapped, a caged songbird
or the unseen flare
from a sinking ship
A prisoner in my very own home
The world is all around me
but still I feel alone

Another unfulfilled dream
or am I still awake?
Sick of waiting
Sick of heartbreak
Will I go blind by the shining light
or drown in the darkness of the moonless night?

Many, many has
my thoughts been of late
Thinking of religion
versus the hands of fate
Are we sons and daughters
of the holy God
or is it down
the evolutions path we trod?

Is a beautiful smile
better than a silent laugh?
And is there power
in a simple autograph?
Would you please sign one for me?

In the kingdom of truth and lies
is love a fool for the rolling dice?
Love, oh love, give me a chance
you don't exist by happenstance
I'm the one, unwanted son
of tragic loss and of chaos
Let me, let me be free

Who am I?
Just a leaf on the tree
on its long way to die?
Who am I?
Just a drop of the sea
Still just waiting to dry?
