Another year has passed me by
Still I look a myself and cry,
What kind of man have I become?
All of the years I've spent in search of myself
And I'm still in the dark
'cause I can't seem to find the light alone

Sometimes I feel like a man in the wilderness
I'm a lonely soldier off to war
Sent away to die - never quite knowing why
Sometimes it makes no sense at all

Ten thousand people look my way
But they can't see the way that I feel
Nobody even cares to try
I spend my life and sell my soul on the road
And I'm still in the dark
cause I can't seem to find the light alone

Sometimes I feel like a man in the wilderness
I'm a lonely soldier lost at sea
Drifting with the tide
Never quite knowing why
Sometimes it makes no sense at all

(I'm alive)
Looking for love I'm a man with emotion
(and my heart's on fire)
I'm dying of thirst in the middle of the ocean
I'm alive!

...and kids today think they invented emo...
