In The Last Place That I Looked

In The Last Place That I Looked
I never really knew exactly,
where my heart belonged
I’d wander in from town to town,
but everywhere seemed wrong
I tried to do the best I could,
it never was enough
Every time my cards were shown,
it always was a bluff
I always had to fight someone,
to let my soul be free
That person who would never take
me in, was always me
Everything I wanted,
seemed to be behind a wall
Every time I tried to climb it,
I would always fall
I’ve hiked so many miles,
but I never really moved
My feet were taking steps,
but nothing ever would improve
I scaled one more peak to see,
a wasteland down below
The trail only went one way,
with no where else to go
I finally realized that I would,
never find the end
I crawled out to the very edge,
and started to descend
I walked into the dessert,
looking for a flake of snow
They said I wouldn’t find it,
but I really didn’t know
You’re looking for a miracle,
is what they said to me
You’re looking for one drop of water,
in a deep blue sea
I tried to let the wind release,
my spirit to the sky
I waited for the tears to fall,
and hear the thunder cry
But all I felt was scorching pain,
as I began to burn
I failed every chance I got,
and now it was my turn
I fell down to my knees and then,
I lifted up the sand
I felt each second I had wasted,
falling through my hands
I stared into the sun and said,
please take away my eyes
This is all I have to give,
for living all my lies
I looked until the sky was black,
and fell down on my face
I didn’t have no dignity,
I now was seeking grace
I felt somebody touch me,
and a light began to glow
That day out in the dessert,
When the sky began to snow
