What are you looking for?

When you talk to friends
For hours at end
Of this and that
Till your voice is spent
What are you looking for?

When you shuttle
From one person to next
Whoever you can find
To give your heart a rest
What are you looking for?

You search and search
For an understanding of some sort
Kind words you don’t get
More often than not
What are you looking for?

You wish someone would
Hear what you don’t say
When you need more than just a nudge
To help you through the day
What are you looking for?

When you want someone to inspire
Some strength into you
To add some bright colors
In your morose dull hue
What are you looking for?

When In someone else’s words
Approvals you seek
The cache of faith
With your friend that you keep.
What are you looking for?

You know the answer’s there
Right in front of your eyes
No one else do you need
But yourself to get by.
What are you looking for?

Don’t be afraid and listen
To that voice in your heart
Which has been with you always
From the very start.
Let go of your fears
And look around anew
And know
What you are looking for is YOU!
