Lonely in a large city
I’m not the only one
There’s probably a million of us
Trying to have fun
While finding the one
I’m not over and done
Just exasperated
I don’t want to be
So lonely
So solo I do roam
Hoping I will meet eventually
The one who too is searching
Searching for me

It’s a giant puzzle
A maze, this quest
I’m in a forest,
Searching for the path
Working without a compass
Looking for my lass

There are lonely people in every city
They congregate in bars, churches, and parks
But they never meet
Their hearts are open
Their lives incomplete
Internet dating works for some
Or it happens by chance
So random is love
But it’s there
It will happen one day
But you gotta believe
And maybe pray
