Maybe I’ve been lookin’ for the wrong thing.
Searching for the perfect harmony,
When I can’t even sing.
Maybe I am way out of my depth.
Thinking; just another minute
Right when I lose my breath.
I have banged my head against every wall:
Waited for anyone I know to call.
Listened to the righteous, but above all
Followed those thought of as weak or small.
Independent, courageous and defiant;
Yet I can’t seem to help myself.
Beat the dumbest giant.
So sure of myself all those years ago.
Put everyone that I love on hold.
Places I’ll never go.
I can solve everyone else’s problem.
Yet can’t even see my own.
The Wrong Thing lives again.
I have banged my head against every wall:
Waited for anyone I know to call.
I have banged my head against every wall:
Waited for anyone I know to call.
The Wrong Thing lives again.
The Wrong Thing lives within.
“I can solve everyone else’s problem.
Yet can’t even see my own.”
Civilization depends on those of us honest enough and courageous enough to admit our ignorance on most matters.
