I Got Lost to Grow

[Intro – Angelic voices, whisper, piano]  
[Verse 1]
Living in suffering isn’t living
Born without direction into the unknown
Daily battle in the scorching desert
Pointless games just to keep on losing
And what do I do if I don’t even know who I am?  [Verse 2]
I got lost in the jungle
The north held danger
The south had wild animals
In the east, rivers and potholes
And the west made no sense at all
And who do I ask for help when I’m all alone…  [Pre-chorus]
Empty pages, with no writing on them
Pen without ink to even start
An unfinished story waiting for an ending
Who do I ask to finish it when I don’t want to anymore… 
 [Chorus]
I was born to be real
I got lost so I could grow on my own
I let go to move forward
I stopped looking back so I wouldn’t suffer again
Smiling to hide it all
And I’d do it again just to keep moving on…  
[Verse 3]
Can I keep going or is it over?
My story is hard even if I don’t show it
How can I go on when I have nowhere to go?
Turn into something I don’t want to be
I can’t — come stop me… 
[Bridge]
No one to show me any interest
No one who wants to hold me up
No one to hug tightly
No one, just no one, ever shows up…  
[Chorus x2]
I was born to be real
I got lost so I could grow on my own
I let go to move forward
I stopped looking back so I wouldn’t suffer again
Smiling to hide it all
And I’d do it again just to keep moving on…  [Outro / Final]
Whoever wants to show up
Welcome to my world
And whoever doesn’t — thank you for not being my friend
You and I are different…
