“Searching” by Derek Lamar

DerekLamar2016

We are lost, we are found
Forever hanging around
Falling, falling, forever falling
Waiting for that sound

Hallelujah, hallelujah
The chorus from on high
Hoping our life was not in vain
As we search for the lonely “I”

Indifference, perseverance
Unquestioning being drawn
Deep into the vacuum
and back where we came from

So lonely, so confusing
As we pretend to finally see
So much we won’t let go of
Is this what’s become of me?

The struggle, the loss
So much left to gain
We step outside of our fantasies
To see just what remains

We rise up into the Light
The Truth we hold so dear
We reach and yet it’s lost again
It seemed this time so near

We give up and let go
Thinking it’s just no use
We feel ourselves falling at last
Into the lap of Truth

We see ourselves in a brand new light
As we never glimpsed before
Standing proud and tall it seems
Before the shadow’s door

No longer afraid, no sense of remorse
We are prepared to finished our dream
Not to pretend what we thought it was
But what it really means

The sound of wind rushing around us
Ideas, thoughts and love
Truth and Reality finally seen
This time it’s known from above

No pressure, no guilt, no sadness at all
Refreshed in knowing it’s true
Now we are free to finally let go
And do what it is we must do.

~ Derek Lamar
