Missing Person (song)

Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done." (Matthew 21:21)

Lyrics

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 occurrence, 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 stomach 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 searching for that missing person

Under a lavender moon

So many thoughts consume me

That dim the glowing light that once burned so bright in me

Is this a radical phase

The 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 kind of knowledge that's chipping away at my soul

I've been gone too long

Will I ever find my way home

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 searching for that missing person

He used to want to try to walk the straight and narrow

He had a fire and he could feel it in the marrow

It's been a long time and I haven't seen him lately

But I've been searching for that missing person
