Will I ever find that someone who is

The answer to the question that I am?

That person who is the meaning of me

Of myself, who can make my feet stand firm?

Will I ever find that specialty in

Out of the way places or by wishful

Thinking? This is someone I gatto be.

Will I be fulfilled when my search is thro?

I’m busting with questions where’s the reply?

I gatto be the dream that haunts me;

Will I find truth in the black of my eye?

When he comes will he be on the real?

But if he’s the answer that I seek,

Will he not make the parts of me sync?

Will I ever find that someone who can

Offer straight answers to the question I am?
