lost in the middle of nowhere

he didnot know,
who he was, why he was, what he was
he was a stranger
and all around him
was emptiness, vanity and distress
he was in danger

his world had been catered for
throughout the years
but now these arrangements
bored him to tears
whenever they asked him
where he would go
he just said "I don't know"

he could not see
what they saw, why they saw, how they saw
was it his blindness?
and yet they loved him
so they said,
'cause he was mad, yes, he was mad
and full of kindness

his mind had been twisted
throughout the years
he heard their advices sound in his ears
whenever they asked him
where he would go
he just said: I don't know"

he couldnot feel
what they felt, why they felt, how they felt
he was a stranger
he saw it all in a different way
and thought that they,
yes thought that they
were all in danger

his eyes had been fed with light
throughout the years
his soul knew the darkness, dullness and fears
whenever they asked him
where he would go
he just said: "I don't know"

This is Fantastic.You posted quite e few pieces today.This is BY FAR my favorite.This could be played very easily,it sings itself right off the page!(or computer)Great song,I'm proud of you!

Thank you Doug. I play this on piano, but I intend to try a guitarversion of it. The key is minor, it is sung quite passionately.
It has a strong rhythm, actually 3/4. I can hear DRUMS!!!!!!

The story of a down and out, someone who finds no understanding in the world surrounding him.
I wonder if Rickey Rebel likes this.....

I tip my hat for you, Amaryn. Every word is well chosen and the song is really a unity.

beautiful.
