Lonely Paths

You are born alone
Into this world you are brought in by the Lord.
There are friends and there is family
And yet you are alone.
Alone and you walk
From stepping stone to the next
From role to role,
Living it up!
And yet there is emptiness.
And then you are in a crowd
And you are lonelier still...
And you wait for that someone
That someone you love.
Someone you know loves you
And yet has forgotten you.
And yet you wait, wait in vain?
I wonder,
This I wonder as I wander along my lonely paths...
