I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know where I'm going, I don't know who I'm being. I keep getting asked this riddle for which I have no answer, An answer with a riddle I can't decipher. I'm only trying to be the vision I'm a seeing but it seems sometimes so meaningless to me. I can only nod and smile as my words are delivered, I can only look at the door and wonder who it was that stole the mirror. I know somewhere a breeze is blowing but it isn't inside of me I keep watching my shoes waiting for one of them to make a move. I don't know what I'm doing I don't know where I'm going I don't know who I'm supposed to be. Where do you look when you are so lost and can you tell me what will be the cost to find one's heart's desire, I don't have the answer. I don't know the road ahead, a rearview mirror floats in my head. The darkness is on either side I know I have these flashlights hidden somewhere inside. Listen closely you can hear your name calling you, But this time instead down the road I will go. I don't know what I'm seeing I don't know what I'm feeling I can't find the road to being I only know what I've been told I only know what I believe my mind has been known to deceive, I don't know who I'm trying to be, I guess I'll find it as I go, Moving on down the line, One more time. You can come along with me but only if you want to be.

Lost
I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know where I'm going, I don't know who I'm being. I keep getting asked this riddle for which I have no answer, An answer with a riddle I can't decipher. I'm only trying to be the vision I'm a seeing but it seems sometimes so meaningless to me. I can only nod and smile as my words are delivered, I can only look at the door and wonder who it was that stole the mirror. I know somewhere a breeze is blowing but it isn't inside of me I keep watching my shoes waiting for one of them to make a move. I don't know what I'm doing I don't know where I'm going I don't know who I'm supposed to be. Where do you look when you are so lost and can you tell me what will be the cost to find one's heart's desire, I don't have the answer. I don't know the road ahead, a rearview mirror floats in my head. The darkness is on either side I know I have these flashlights hidden somewhere inside. Listen closely you can hear your name calling you, But this time instead down the road I will go. I don't know what I'm seeing I don't know what I'm feeling I can't find the road to being I only know what I've been told I only know what I believe my mind has been known to deceive, I don't know who I'm trying to be, I guess I'll find it as I go, Moving on down the line, One more time. You can come along with me but only if you want to be.
