If I Own Today

I'm walking towards nothing

On this desolate road,

I'm searching for comfort,

A place to call my own.

I'm scared of where I'm heading

When will this fear subside?

When will I find the answers

to the questions in my mind?

Why the sky is blue?

And why my heart's the same?

And what I'm so afraid of

If I own today?

All I've ever wanted

Has sunk in the unknown,

And is lost and barricaded,

Longing to be shown.

Safe away and guarded

All my hopes and all my dreams,

Will they ever surface?

Will they ever be seen?

The life that I have planned,

The course I thought I'd take,

Can only be accomplished

If I own today.

If my life was different,

If there was something I could change,

I'd take half of my passion

And turn it into strength.

And then with my desire

And the courage I have gained,

I'd reach my destination

And finally own

I know I'd own tomorrow,

If I own today.
