I've been searching for an oasis In the desert for so long To pretend I'm strong In my weakness trying I've been holding on To things that I have left behind I've been scared and lonely I'm crippled inside. Bathing my soul in the starlight Healed my wounds in the sun Screamed my pain to the forest Asking the question why? Will there come a time for me when I find peace of mind Will I always have this feeling like I'm last in the line I will climb up the mountain and light up a candle and ask: "Will my soul ever rest in peace?" I've been washed in pain Haunted by the ghosts of years ago They won't leave me be They keep coming back for more Will there come a time for me when I find peace of mind Will I always have this feeling like I'm last in the line I will climb up the mountain and light up a candle and ask: "Will my soul ever rest in peace?" Will there come a time for me when I find peace of mind Will I always have this feeling like I'm last in the line I will climb up the mountain and light up a candle and ask: "Will my soul ever rest in peace?" My crippled soul is yearning to be free. Will there come a time for me when I find peace of mind Will I always have this feeling like I'm last in the line I will climb up the mountain and light up a candle and ask: Will there come a time for me when I find peace of mind Will I always have this feeling like I'm last in the line I will climb up the mountain and light up a candle and ask: "Will my soul ever rest in peace?" ******************************************************************
