Analysis of Help Wanted!
Hi again. Remember me?
Guess not. Just another face in the crowd.
That was some pretty cool music the other day.
Any chance of hearing more sometime?
I went forward at the end. Followed the crowd.
Prayed a prayer, asked this Jesus guy to be my Lord.
Do you know anything about that?
Was kinda hoping you did. I have lot's of questions.
Life changed then. Got a whole lot weirder.
I sense someone talking to me when I get real quiet.
But I feel calm about it. Seems normal.
Maybe you can tell me what I need to do next.
What happened to the others who went forward.
Maybe you have some friends I can meet with.
You seem like you have your life together,
how did you get that way?
The preacher guy said I was real important
will you help me? You will?
I was hoping to become more than a face in the crowd!
