A lost soul wandering in the wilderness For a thousand years Searching, searching But if you were to ask, "what are you looking for?" They would reply with one of two things If you were a stranger they might say "Something lost." But if you were a friend One they decided to let into their High-walled fortress they have built Only for their protection They might reply "I don't know how it looks or feels or tastes, but I do know when I find it I will know it is what I have always wished for."
