Lost

Joseph m Novo 1951 (Watsonville Ca)



Where do I go
To find myself
Where is that place

I can search far and wide
To the ends of the earth
I may not find what I'm looking for

So it goes
Over and over again
Still not there, still not there

Up the down
Down the up
Any which way

So it goes the lore
Of the way
Who is lost
