Leaving home just the other day
I found something that I really didn't want to find.
Leaving home just the other day
I looked around and realized that I was all alone.
Somebody better slap me before I've gone too far.
Somebody better point me in the right direction.
Somebody better put my feet back on the ground.
Somebody better clear my mind of misconception.
Help me Jesus, put my feet back on the ground.
Help me Lord, point me in the right direction.
Help me honey,
because I don't think that the ones I'm trying to communicate with are really out there.
My pen is empty recording thoughts I've never shared.
My throat is sore from shouting at incomprehension.
My shoes are worn from all the paths that I've been down.
My skin is cold cause from the rain I cannot hide.
Help me mother, point me in the right direction.
Help me father, clear my mind of misperception.
Help me honey.
With all the wisdom of my elders I find myself still working on the application.
I skipped a rock as far as I could cross the lake.
I saw some lizards print my initials on the sand.
I ate an orange and wiped the juice all on my face.
I screamed from the cold in icy water skinny dipping.
So help me Johnny, lift me from the walls around me.
Help me sister, put my feet back on the ground.
Help me honey.
With all my friends I want to count on are far away but I know they'd help me if there was only time.
Help me goldfish, save me from my expectation.
Help me sunshine, take me where I want to go.
Help me honey,
because although the world around me
fills me up with peace and loving
lightning thunder, grass is growing,
sun is shining, day is dreaming,
leaves are falling, snow is melting,
flowers blooming, children smiling,
it's not enough to make me feel like
really living unless you're in it too.
