Wish it Were Easy

The pain running down my face

I think I may be losing the race

I don’t know where to turn, where to run

Someone said I’m supposed to have fun

But I feel like I’m pushing through paste

Afraid that all my effort’s a waste

I wish it were easy, I do

I wish I knew just what to do…

But there is no map I can see

No sideline supporter cheering for me

Or are they there and I’m stupidly blind?

Is it here, yet I’m still looking to find?

I thought if I figured out what it meant

I’d live happy, strong, and content

I wish it were easy, I do

I wish I knew just what to do…

I heard it’s the journey that counts

But my journey is just filled with doubts

Time makes you wise when you’ve learned

How little you knew when youth burned

And you threw it away in a rush

Believing it would stay fragrant and lush

Oh, I wish it were easy, I do

I wish I knew just what to do…
