Lost in the Wilderness - Mark Seibert

I never made this world, I didn’t even lose it

And I know no one said it was fair

But they had a garden once

They had the chance to choose it

They gave it away including my share

And now we’re lost in wilderness

Lost, crying in the wilderness

And if anyone’s watching it seems they couldn’t care less

We’re lost wilderness

You follow all the rules

You swallow all the stories

And every night you wish on a star

Dreaming your day will come, trusting in allegories

And every morning boy look where you are

Lost in the Wilderness

Lost, slowly dying in the wilderness

With no chance of living boy, until you confess

You’re lost in the wilderness

Don’t you ever watch the eagle fly to the sun

And wonder how he got to be so free

If you ever have you know your journey’s begun

Hey what’ve we got to lose boy, when already we are

Lost in the wilderness

And where we are headed boy, I couldn’t guess but

Off we go without a warning

Running as we hit the ground

Where our future lies a-borning

Where our hearts are outward bound

Till one bright and distant morning

We may stop and look around

And there in the wilderness

Finally we’ll be found!
