Wandering Souls

Verse 1
I see them walking with their heads bowed low
Dust on their shoes from a long hard road
Chasing a promise they can’t quite name
Trading tomorrow for yesterday’s pain

Mama said, “Child, keep your eyes on the light”
But the dark feels warm on a cold long night
Every turn feels like it leads back home
But home don’t feel like home no more

Chorus
Wandering souls, tired and alone
Looking for worth in a world of stone
Hearts still hoping, though the way ain’t clear
Searching for peace they can’t find here

Verse 2
Some wear gold, some wear scars
Some pray quiet, some curse the stars
Every choice leaves a deeper line
On borrowed hope and borrowed time

Bridge
There’s a hunger that won’t speak its name
A missing truth, a quiet shame
Not lost for lack of trying hard
Just lost without a guiding star

Chorus
Wandering souls, still holding on
Still believing the night will pass by dawn
Feet keep moving, though the road is long
Listening hard for a distant song

Outro
One day maybe, they’ll hear that call
Soft as mercy, strong as dawn
Till then they walk, both brave and worn
Wandering souls, still searching on
