Soul Searching

Say a prayer for me
I need a new life
I’m not blind cuz i see the truth and the lies.
Heed my words
Listen to advice
You don’t need to run away and take your life.
No, can’t live this way…

So you go for miles and miles
And miles and miles and miles
Destination nowhere
No means or how,
Saw you go for miles and miles
Soul searching for how.

Just take a look around at the faces that you meet
Everybody’s got their own pains like you and me
Never fall away…

Whatever you do choose life
The thoughts on your mind choose life
Wherever you go choose life
Choose life.
