Lyrics
As I walk into this crowded bar
Entering a crowded bar
I see a familiar sight
Observing a familiar scene
Of smiling chattering people all around
Noticing joyful and talkative people
But inside me there are wild waves
Internal emotional turmoil
And they crest and crash and roar
Intense emotional turmoil expressed as wild waves
Drowning every vagabonding sound
Emotions drowning out external sounds
All over again this raging violent storm
Recurrent violent emotional storm
Has enthralled my tired restless heart
The storm captivates and affects the tired heart
So when the barman spots the denizen
Recognition of a familiar person by the bartender
And shares his gracious smile
Bartender responding with a friendly smile
I lean towards the bar and gently ask
Approaching the bar with a question
Pour me the pint of understanding
Expressing a need for understanding
Chased with the shot of concern
Desiring empathy and care
Give me the taste of belonging
Yearning for a sense of belonging
Lord, it's been really too long
Longing for connection after a significant time
I'm so jaded by the endless search
Feeling tired and disillusioned by the quest for peace
For peace of mind
The pursuit of peace seems futile
Going up in smoke no matter what
Efforts going up in smoke
The more you fail the more you get discouraged
Experiencing discouragement with repeated failures
As the warning signs
Recognizing warning signs in life
Show their ugly face at every turn
Challenges appearing consistently
I need something else than everybody else
Seeking something different from the norm
To find my place and finally feel alright
Needing a unique path for personal fulfillment
And even though my route is well defined
Having a defined route but seeking companionship
And provision is in place
Plans and provisions in place
It would be nice if someone joined the ride
Desire for companionship on the journey
Pour me the pint of understanding
Reiteration of the need for understanding
Chased with the shot of concern
Desire for empathy and genuine concern
Give me the taste of belonging
Longing for a sense of belonging
Lord, it's been really too long
Expressing the prolonged absence of connection
