I want to belong somewhere
Where? well I guess I don’t really care
Just a warm spot to soak in the sun
Somewhere to hide when the day is done

With the freedom of the wind at my back
To atone for all the good, I lack
It seems there’s more wrong than right these days
I find myself mostly in the grey

Let me be easy on my brothers
Kind and patient like none other
An inspiration for those to dream
A guiding force just as a support beam

So, when it does become my time
Convict me of a victimless crime
For I don’t want to live forever
Just let me enjoy the harsh weather

I play my cards close to the vest
But I make sure to do my best
So, when I do start to feel like less
Lay my body down to rest
