Searching by Rick Thompson
My ship sails out unto the ocean of wide open spaces
It's hull creeking with the souls of all the people's faces
A destiny of unknown dreams and desires,
Burning within me, the coals from fires
Time is a never ending stage I have missed
My lips burning for the love of untouched lips
From those I have not known or kissed
I can not see the dreams of unknown shores
My body is weakened by life's tasking chores
Still I search onward to find a peaceful meaning
Like a giant tree, aged and leaning
What will I find and what will it all mean to me
I look into my mirror and my reflection I can see
Can I be happy and can I have my love
Graceful and beautiful as the morning dove
Like the wind that puts life into my sails
Like the skies of blue and winding trails
Oh, Lord show me the way and hold onto me tight
Oh, Lord show me the way and show me the light
It's hull creeking with the souls of all the people's faces
A destiny of unknown dreams and desires,
Burning within me, the coals from fires
Time is a never ending stage I have missed
My lips burning for the love of untouched lips
From those I have not known or kissed
I can not see the dreams of unknown shores
My body is weakened by life's tasking chores
Still I search onward to find a peaceful meaning
Like a giant tree, aged and leaning
What will I find and what will it all mean to me
I look into my mirror and my reflection I can see
Can I be happy and can I have my love
Graceful and beautiful as the morning dove
Like the wind that puts life into my sails
Like the skies of blue and winding trails
Oh, Lord show me the way and hold onto me tight
Oh, Lord show me the way and show me the light
Written at a time when I was in search of something I did not have the answer for. When I did find my answer it was too late.
