My esteem ebbs low,
As I trudge across a frozen tundra
of despair and woeful din
I wonder; where do I fit in...and

Oh my soul,
My countenance sings softly
A melancholy melody of longing,
Of discontent with my life
not many can feel my strife

I am suffered unto pain
And am locked within my own world
Of heartache and forlorn promises
Of laughing fools and doubting Thomas’ and…

Oh my soul,
Of wishes wished, then forgotten
I am no witness of futures to come
Just a sad, lonely soul of limited worth
Still searching within life’s lowly berth and…

Oh my soul,
How I long for love
And the blessings of embraces
for kisses and wishes of fulfillment
To break away, free of my concealment

That a lonely heart will find me waiting
Beneath the lovely wings of soulful sentiment
Of wishes of joy and merriment
Of wishes yearning and heart calling out…oh my soul.
