It seemed only yesterday that my life was rich and full
Until I felt the tug of this uncontrollable cosmic pull
How could the tables so suddenly and drastically have turned?
For I wouldn’t be finding ways to unlearn what I’ve learned

What kind of fairness lies in these sequence of events?
To me its an unjust affair, my happiness it prevents
That I should find the thing I have missed on such a wrong turn
Then fate should snatch it away from me and make me feel the burn

Life can be mysterious, they say, I don’t know all its ways
All I know is that I have been on this quest for far too many days
A seeker roaming the sands of time with an unquenchable thirst
It’s a journey not a contest, I don’t want to finish first

I do need answers to the questions burning in my soul
For they would make this life worthwhile, they would make me whole
Mirages have tricked me along the way luring me with a lovely feast
Ready to scavenge, I am like a bird of prey or like an untamed beast

They make me falter from my true course and make me fall behind
I have wizened to their deceptions now and can identify their kind
Their lure is not so strong anymore their illusions no longer hold
My mind is clear, my heart is pure, and my soul is molten gold

It took me a while to reach this point and feel this way in my heart
Appreciate the obstacles in my way, now I know they had to play their part
Seasons change, we can’t only have sunshine, we have to weather the rain
For I wouldn’t be this happy now if I hadn’t faced the pain
