Missing Person

I identify closely with these lyrics to the song “Missing Person” by Michael W Smith.

“Another question in me
One for the powers that be
It’s got me thrown
And so I put on my poker face

And try to figure it out
This undeniable doubt
A common occurrance
Feeling so out of place

Guarded and cynical now
Can’t help but wondering how
My heart evolved into
A rock beating inside of me

So I reel
Such a stoic ordeal
Where’s that feeling that I don’t feel

There was a boy who had the faith to move a mountain
And like a child he would believe without a reason
Without a trace, he disappeared into the void and
I’ve been searchin’ for that missing person

Under a lavender moon
So many thoughts consume me
Who dimmed that glowing light
That once burned so bright in me

Is this a radical phase
A problematical age
That keeps me running
From all that I used to be

Is there a way to return
Is there a way to unlearn
That carnal knowledge
That’s chipping away at my soul

I’ve been gone too long
Will I ever find my way home

Where are you,
where are you
Where are you, where are you
Ohh

I’ve been searchin’,
where are you
For that person,
where are you
Where are you, ohh”

What song best descibes you?
