I've Been Busy

I've searched the earth eternal
Looking for that slice of life
The one from that big ol' home baked pie
The kid with the sweet gooey cherries inside.

I've sifted through the sands of time
Looking for that silver piece
That silver gem sparkling among grains,
That great piece of advice.

I've been scuba diving in that vast ocean
With waves of opportunity
Waiting by the silent telephone
Wondering if opportunity would phone instead of knock.

I've been adding up the numbers
Of all the times I've had
Wondering if I've been miscalculating
Some crucial moment that passed.

I've read a thousand passages
In books to interpret dreams
Searching ever for answers to questions
Of experiences not my own.

I've been wondering exactly why
I've been wasting all this time
Searching and looking the hard way through
What I know I'll never find.

I've been cleaning out my room
And spending all my days
Trying to find answers in any place
Other than exactly where I left them.
