THERE'S TIMES I WONDER

(T. Beechey)



There's times I wonder why I'm here, it doesn't appear a reason exists

Have I missed something along the way? Why do I stay when dreams resist?

There's times I wonder why I'm here, it's never clear the reason why

And I sometimes think there isn't one and all I've done is just a lie



There's times I wonder why I'm here, year after year I remain

Only a stain upon a windshield that never yields to the falling rain

Nobody knows so I stay unchosen, nobody sees a reason at all

Nobody cares where I'm headed, I'd like to forget but I'm set to fall



There's times I wonder why I'm here, I'm nowhere near where I belong

And the road gets longer by the minute, so infinite and so very wrong

There's times I wonder why I'm here --- to endure the smears of all mankind

Who find amusement in my sorrow and borrow the hopes I left behind?



There's times I wonder why I'm here, all I've held dear has slipped away

The words I say go unnoticed, I'm no longer devoted to stay

Nobody knows so I'm frozen, nobody sees a reason I am

Nobody cares where I'm going and all I know is all a sham



There's times I wonder why I'm here, do you see this tear within my eye?

It doesn't dry, it only burns and turns to a river by and by

There's times I wonder why I'm here, sometimes I fear I'll never know

And I'll go beyond the light, no reason in sight and nothing to show



There's times I wonder why I'm here

Won't someone hear the words I speak?

I only seek a reason to be

A reason for me...maybe next week
