Which way is home?
Is it left, or is it right?
How did I get so lost?
What happened last night?
With every step, the cold concrete wakes me up.
Every step sends a shiver up my spine.
Watching the sunrise
Tells me all I need to know about the time.
As I continue down memory lane,
My eyes slowly gaze from house to house.
Nothing looks the same.
The last time I was in this neighborhood, it was a bright, sunny day.
Today, in this neighborhood, it seems the love and joy have gone away.
Will I make it home, or am I lost forever?
