I stand alone
in the middle of
a thousand people
looking for something, I do not know
I stand alone
in the middle of
a million passersby
looking for someone I do not know
(chorus)
I do not wish to be saved
I do not wish to be owned
I just want to find my way back home
no, I do not wish to be saved
I do not wish to be owned
I'm just trying to find my way back home
they say if I stop looking
if I stop looking that I'll
find what I cant see
they say if I stop reaching
yeah, if I stop reaching that then
they will start reaching for me
(chorus)
if I am on the run
do you think I could run away
away from time and space
if i unbreak my heart
I wonder if I could
put it back in its place
and if I learn to fly
if I learn to soar
will I find what I'm looking for
chorus.
if I learn how to love
if I learn how to live
if I learn how to breathe
if I learn how to give
if I learn how to save...
I think I'll find my way
I will find my way back
home

good job
those lyrics are really good. you should make another song and post it in my contest. I love the uplifting beat that I can make to this. It flows very nicely.
Love Always

I love these lyrics. They really make you think! I think it is true, if you stop reaching, they will reach for you!

Cool, I like the way you set up the lines. I liked the first two verses better. The rest seemed very cheeeesy I must say and I feel like I've heard a lot of this poem somewhere else, in a song maybe... just bits and pieces... not accusing you of anything.

A nice song. I would be interested to hear a melody for this. In the third stanza, should it be "put it back in its place"?
