Lost

             reaching back for something that isn't there
             you suddenly feel you no longer care
             your once soft feelings are hard as stone
             and in your decisions you are now alone
             pages ripped out of your book of life
             the same as being stabbed with a butcher knife
             there's no direction, don't know who's the boss
             from an "A" to a "C" student you have turned
             the ripped out pages have now been burned
             you lost your smarts and you lost your mind
             you feel stuck out, a one and only kind
             some good dirrection must soon be found
             your life is gone in one quick glance
             you picked the wrong door and must pay the cost
             of being confused, and yet still lost
             this beautiful sight makes you faint
             love is overwhelming, fear is out of sight
             you squeeze your loved ones, you hold them tight
             then everything suddenly begins to fade
             you find yourself in a very different place
             then a ghostly figure approaches you
             your temperature quickly begins to rise
             you've heard of this place, you know it well
             you're stuck down in the pits of hell
             the figure tells you to sin, whenever
             he says to be mean, to talk in ugly words
             after all the word "live" is "evil" spelled backwards
             then, once again, things fade in a hurry
             a new, bright light shines into your eyes
             it's the kind of thing that makes you cry
             the visions and figures you saw are gone
             it seemed so real, but I'm glad it's not
             because now I'm thankful for what I've got
             no need to be scared, it was just a dream
             though you can tell you're home by the morning frost
