What's it like to share a life
What's it like to have a wife
What's it like to fall in love
What's it like to have faith above
What's it like to live alone
What's it like to be a clone
What's it like to be content
What's it like to pay rent
What's it like to grow old
What's it like to do what I'm told
What's it like after we die
What's it like not to cry

Life is hard if you don't conform
But it's not in my genes to be the norm
We're taught to follow the status quo
What if you're not born to follow the flow

A mortgage, a finance, an overdraft we're sold
This is what from young we're told
A system built to churn out sheep
To conditioned and scared to take a leap

This is what is so hard I find
This is what plagues my mind
What do I do if this is not for me
If I forget what I'm taught, will I then feel free

Maybe someday the answers will appear
As life passes you by living in fear
But if the answers never rise
Maybe I'll learn to see things through different eyes

I know not what I search for
But I know I've yet to find it
Maybe my eyes cannot see it
So my heart must search blinded

Does everyone face this trouble
Or do some settle for less
Does my mind over complicate
Would simplicity be the best

As I write this I wonder
What lies out of my sight
Do I make my own path in life
Or will destiny shine a light

Will I ever know what I search for
Will I ever know what's right
This is what I think of
Before I say goodnight
