Aimlessly Wandering

    I have yet to find lifes purpose,                                              or a reason why I'm here.
I have a broken compass, my direction isn't clear.

      North, South, East West,                                                             running through the woods
 Every beginning has an end so be me where I should.

     I'm lost, I'm lost,I see no way,
                           except I must get there today.

     So here I am with somewhere to be,
                going in circles climbing the trees.

   I know I have a calling that I just can't seem to find,
  Which direction should I go, I can't make up my mind.

     Which will lead me to that place,
                  where lives several a happy face?
                     

     I'm sure that once I get there
                 some sense will come of this,
    Wandering aimlessly through an abyss.

     I'm late, I'm lost, I should be there,
             Instead I'm stuck in this nowhere.

Use what talents you possess:
    the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there
            except those that sang best.
