Stranger in a strange land

Here I am
Another year is here before me
What is left?
Where am I to go from here?
Everything that I have done
And everything that I could say
Have I truly built my life?
Is this my reality?
What is truth?
What is there for me to see?
Where is home?
What is there for me to be?
Will I know?
Are these answers I'll receive?

Am I ready for what lies ahead?
Will everything fall in place?
With all that's left behind me
Am I keeping pace?
My world is changing

When you're young and hopeful
You want it all right then
And then you grow up thinking
Everything will all work out
And now you're laying here
With nothing left to strive for
This life isn't always perfect
So you keep forging on

Are you ready for what lies ahead?
Will everything fall in place?
With all that's left behind you
What will you face?
And when it all comes falling
You're alone with nothing left
No one will hear you calling
A year older with nothing gained

Our world is changing
Forever changing
Forever twisting
Forever withering away
We turn to nothing
And there's nothing we can do
