Searchin'

(From my first visit into the psych ward) 

Well Im searchin for the something

I just cant seem to find 

like a word you want to say

that just won't come to mind

I been on so many travels 

I seem to have lost my home

but each time I settle down 

all I want to do is roam

My friends have lost their faith

but I keep findin mine

when I start to kickin myself 

I start searching for a sign

a sign to tell me something 

or the next place I should go 

should I go back to hawaii 

or some place covered in snow

But what I have forgotten

and it seems so many have

for what I need Ive got in

this heart and mind I have

You never need to travel 

or roam these vast lands

for what you want to unravel 

is in your very hands

so continue your learnin 

that you never got in school 

and that knowledge get to earnin 

so you don't die a fool

You see these crazy people

they are just like you and me 

but their awareness is to great 

for our current societry 

they try to tell you stories

what lessons they can teach

but if you write it off as babble 

enlightenment you wont reach

So dont you stop your searchin

on account of me 

cause i will keep on urging 

for you all to be free

so go and find your ember 

& allow that flame to grow

hopefully by next september 

your ember will start to glow

Now use that flame you have

to help it guide your way 

help others find their ember

but never should you say 

My light is the light to follow 

your embers arent as bright 

only I can guide you 

Through this dreary night 

for once you had just an ember

same as mine or theirs

please do always remember 

for others & your heirs

We must all find these embers 

we must coax our own to grow 

for then and only then 

will our lights begin start to show
