young free soul

Little girl lost
where are you going?
going nowhere fullspeed with that convincing smile on your face
sadness in your eyes, but theres still a fire in you glowing
I see your insecurities, underneath the fancy, tight fit clothing
naive to lust disguised as love, love here, love gone with the wind blowing
I hear your cries as you try to keep your tears from showing
tender heart that throbbed with passion, now felt heartache, pulse slowing

Little boy lost
where are you going?
think youve got it all figured it out
out into the world to be a man, but not nearly finished growing
doing things to be accepted, you think its heart you're showing
fast money, evil persuasion. you're just a puppet. not even knowing
the weight of the world on your shoulders, thats some heavy towing

she will run towards the big city, bright lights, endless riches and fame
he'll make a whole new life , create a whole new name
maybe find love, or friends. where there are no faults and no blame
maybe, maybe not. but I will love you all the same

Tale as old as time,
eager souls that don't know which path to take
on the journey comes confusion, uncertain is your fate
chase of big dreams turned to nightmares from which we wish we could awake
here, take my hand. I'm with you
whatever decision you make
doesn't matter where we go, nothing to lose, nothing at stake
we all have to live to learn, and learn from our mistakes

used to daydream of future life, finding love, to one day marry
but things are different now, time has passed, youre still alone, its kinda scary
Let me assist you. give me your baggage youre holding, it is now mine to carry
well leave the past behind us, with it your skeletons I will bury

give me your burdens, your sadness, your pain for me to bare
in return I have some dreams, some hope for us to share
I cant promise what tommorrow brings. but to you this i swear
we can do this thing called life together, it doesnt matter where
I promise to never hurt you, treat you with care
I just want to look in the mirror and see you standing there

young lost soul
this road you've traveled is outgrown
no longer should you wonder, no longer should you roam
its seems hard to start over, this life is all you've known
life is full of surprises, nothing is set in stone
mature is my body, but its hollow, just skin and bone
young soul you spread your wings now its time to fly back home

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I was thinking back on a time in my life when in didn't know myself or what I wanted of life. I finally got to know myself.
