THE SEARCH FOR SELF

The search for self

Like tales of ancient elves

The winds blow so freely

And men sigh so freely

Man searches for himself

Help him find himself


He is lost in his thoughts

Lost in his unfulfilled dreams 

Lost in his former glory days 

He reminds himself of the good old days

He forgets about progression 

He doesn't remember the next step


The search for self

Like tales of ancient elves

The winds blow so freely

And men sigh so freely

Man searches for himself

Help him find himself


Help him to understand 

That there's ever room for failure 

Help him to think 

Of the way forward

Help him to find 

His purpose once more


The search for self

Like tales of ancient elves

The winds blow so freely

And men sigh so freely

Man searches for himself

Help him find himself


Help him find himself

Remind him of himself

What it feels to be him

You don't have to be mean

Help him to find 

His purpose once more..
