Confessions of a Maverick Failure

I have been waiting for a miracle for so long,
I tried to end a war with just a song,
That I never learned to look back and see,
Wat life already had in store for me,

I failed to see the smile in God's face,
I failed to see I have run my race,
On my quest to find what the world meant,
I had let my own memories of life become faint,

I wanted to be the one who was the best,
In the game, I let of all the rest,
So now I lie heartbroken and bitterly alone,
As I think of the star that had once shone,

I had tried so hard to be different,
That I failed to see what life really meant,
Now I sail in vain from door to door,
And no smile of God meets me anymore.
