"Lost Somewhere Along The Way"

Lately I've been feeling split
In where I'm at and who I've been
Want to stand and be the man I am
While the wide-eyed boy still lives within

There's things I do that I don't want
And things I want that I don't do
Like my dreams have fallen by the wayside
While my nightmare's do come true

[chorus]
On and on I stake the course
And on and on I make my way
Through the trial and discourse of my life
Through the crystal nights and cloudy days
I don't want to lose myself
With everything I give away
Is there a shred of me still left inside
Or was it lost somewhere along the way

Lately I've got lots to say
Things I never would have in the day
Opinions move, opinions sway
Am I being loud or being brave?

And I don't want to lose the course
Want to wade the steady stream of faith
When the rivulets of new concerns
Get wide and try to carry me away

[chorus]
On and on I stake the course
And on and on I make my way
Through the trial and discourse of my life
Through the crystal nights and cloudy days
I don't want to lose myself
With everything I give away
Is there a shred of me still left inside
Or was it lost somewhere along the way

Destiny is swallowed whole
By a tattered change of scenery
When we grow old and start to fold
Compromise becomes uncertainty
And I don't want to walk that road
Like the ones limping in front of me
Want to live the life I'm meant to live
With everything inside of me

[chorus]
On and on I stake the course
And on and on I make my way
Through the trial and discourse of this life
Through the hopeful nights and doubting days
I don't want to lose my innocence
With all the things I give away
Is there a shred of it still left inside
Or is it lost somewhere along the way

Is there hope alive, still left inside
Or are you lost somewhere along the way
Do I still believe, am I still me
Or am I lost somewhere along the way

Would you take my hand
And walk beside me
