If I'm chasing something
Some beauty in the world
Some kind of understanding
That I have yet to learn
Let's say I want it madly
But why this mortal urge?
Does it possess some power
Like what I've only heard?
Here's to hoping that something comes out of this great big mess
I've been making of my mind lately
But I'm not in distress, yet
I've heard all the stories
At least what's on the news
So many people's loved ones
That couldn't make it through
(Could it be me?)
Maybe I'll never know now
Was it the prize or just the hunt?
Either way I turn it
Should I quit before too much
Or is this all just a crutch?
Maybe I'm thinking too much...
Here's to hoping that something comes out of this great big mess
I've been making of my mind lately
But I'm not in distress, yet
