Wishing Well
Lost Dreams and Wishing Wells: Unveiling the Journey of Self-Rediscovery
Lyrics
In the corner of a box marked lost and found
In a neglected place designated for lost items
I find myself again
Rediscovering my true self
Lining the bottom of a wishing well
Covering the base of a well for making wishes
With other dreams that might have been
Alongside other dreams that didn't materialize
Flattened by the pressure of what's coming down
Overwhelmed by external pressures
I'm relying on faith second hand
Relying on faith from others
I used to be an average man
Formerly an ordinary person with ambitious plans
With bigger than average plans
Having lost my way with grand aspirations
Somehow I got lost along the way
Feeling lost in my journey
And now I'm here
Now present in this situation
Don't you know that you could be the one
Encouraging someone to be the catalyst for change
To set me free
To liberate and release me
I've waited all my life to be someone
Waiting a lifetime to be recognized
Somebody could see
Desiring acknowledgment from someone
You can find me still in the corner of a box
Still confined in the forgotten space
Marked lost and found at the bottom of
In a box marked lost and found
A wishing well
At the bottom of a wishing well
Burdened by the weight of a wrecking ball
Bearing the weight of challenges
I'm defining my own sense of worth
Defining my self-worth despite difficulties
I want to bathe my soul in the light
Seeking spiritual enlightenment
As religion finds me immersed
Immersed in religious contemplation
Destitution knows me by name
Familiar with destitution by name
While the trick is to sit where you stand
Suggesting resilience in challenging circumstances
I used to be an average man
Once an average person with big plans
With bigger than average plans
Having deviated from those plans
Somehow I got lost along the way
Lost in the journey of life
And now I'm here
Currently situated in this predicament
Don't you know that you could be the one
Inviting someone to be a source of liberation
To set me free
To bring about my freedom
I've waited all my life to be someone
Longing to be recognized throughout life
Somebody could see
Yearning for someone to perceive me
You can find me still in the corner of a box
Still confined in the forgotten space
Marked lost and found at the bottom of
In a box marked lost and found
A wishing well
At the bottom of a wishing well
I'm caught shuddering by myself
Isolated and trembling alone
Each wish in the shape of a coin
Each wish represented by a coin
Legal tender for wishes thrown
Legal tender for wishes tossed into the well
As the water reflects the unknown
Water reflecting the mysteries of life
The tide rips through the surface of time
The force of time affecting the surface
But I can't think of when it began
Uncertain about the origins of challenges
I used to be an average man
Formerly an average person with grand plans
With bigger than average plans
Strayed from those ambitious plans
Somehow I got lost along the way
Lost in the complexities of life
And now I'm here
Currently in this present state
Don't you know that you could be the one
Inviting someone to be a catalyst for change
To set me free
To bring about my liberation
I've waited all my life to be someone
Waiting a lifetime to be acknowledged
Somebody could see
Longing for someone to truly see me
You can find me still in the corner of a box
Still confined in the forgotten space
Marked lost and found at the bottom of
In a box marked lost and found
A wishing well
At the bottom of a wishing well
