Missing Person (lyrics)

(A song 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 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
