I've been looking all my life... I'll never find it until I know what it is.

I've always had the feeling that I need something. Something so important. And I'm always looking for it. But I don't know what it is. It's like when you know there was something you were going to do, but you can't remember, or when you feel so sad and don't know why. I have this undying longing and I can't fulfill it because I don't know what I want. Maybe everyone feels that way. And that's how this song came to me. Actually, I have a vague idea. I want to do something. To be someone. To contribute, to change the world, or better yet, save it. But there are so many ways a person could do that. And I have no idea which one I strive for. I'm on a quest for a quest.
Circles
Walking and waiting
Hoping and praying
Living and breathing
And always believing
In something, something more
What am I looking for?
I've been walking all my life
But how far have I come?
I'm still exactly where I started
Every day I run
But I'm still left brokenhearted
I can't find it anywhere
I know I never will
Without knowing
But I'll keep going
Walking and waiting
Hoping and praying
Living and breathing
And always believing
In something, something more
To know what I'm looking for
Running and trying
To stop all my crying
Weeping and bleeding
Wanting and needing
And end to the never-ending search
For my never-ending search
Like a dream within a dream
A dusty, empty street
With a million different paths to choose
And no way to know what I'll meet
At the end of any one
And I don't know what I
Ever hope to find
So all I can do
Is wander
Walking and waiting
Hoping and praying
Living and breathing
And always believing
In something, something more
To know what I'm looking for
Running and trying
To stop all my crying
Weeping and bleeding
Wanting and needing
And end to the never-ending search
For my never-ending search
I'll know it when I see it
But I haven't seen a thing
Emptiness surrounds me
What will the darkness bring?
I try to find a light
But how will it shine?
I just don't know
And so I spend my life
In circles
In circles
In circles
Walking and waiting
Hoping and praying
Living and breathing
And always believing
In something, something more
To know what I'm looking for
Running and trying
To stop all my crying
Weeping and bleeding
Wanting and needing
And end to the never-ending search
For my never-ending search
Dreaming of making
A way of escaping
The circle
Sometimes I think it'd be pretty cool to be a singer. I actually want to act (This song wasn't about my career. It was about my destiny. There's a big difference.) but after being an author, singing is my third choice. I have about enough songs for an album, more or less. I just need someone who can actually put them to music. I was bored in History one day and started designing an album cover (I'm so weird), which would not be named after me. I'd call it Circles, since it seems to fit the mood of all my stuff. It had a picture of me cut out from a photograph pasted onto another cutout of a circle. All my career choices involve fame. It's not that I want to be famous; I really don't care to be the center of attention. I just love doing these things and getting my thoughts out there.
