Like a Paper Boat

(Soft piano melody playing)

Where do I fit in?

Is it too late to begin?

Walls once painted bright, now just shades of gray,

Empty streets whisper secrets, they don't want to say.

I left behind memories, echoes of laughter and tears,

But in this new shadow, I'm lost with my fears.

Searching for warmth in the chill of the night,

But the stars seem far and the moon doesn’t shine bright.

Each turn of the street, feels like a stranger’s call,

I thought I found solace, but I’m feeling so small.

Home doesn’t feel like home anymore,

Just an empty house with an unhinged door.

I’m drifting like a paper boat on the sea,

Trying to find a place that feels like me.

Photographs are fading, but the smiles are still there,

Building new foundations, yet I breathe stale air.

In a world of colors, all I see is black and white,

Where laughter used to linger, now there’s only night.

Searching for warmth in the chill of the night,

But the stars seem far and the moon doesn’t shine bright.

Each turn of the street, feels like a stranger’s call,

I thought I found solace, but I’m feeling so small.

Home doesn’t feel like home anymore,

Just an empty house with an unhinged door.

I’m drifting like a paper boat on the sea,

Trying to find a place that feels like me.

Maybe there's a silver lining behind the clouds,

Maybe in this silence, I can find a crowd.

Every new heartbeat, each unfamiliar face,

Could lead me closer to my own sacred space.

Home doesn’t feel like home anymore,

Just an empty house with an unhinged door.

I’m drifting like a paper boat on the sea,

Trying to find a place that feels like me.

So here I stand on the edge of the tide,

With the dreams of the past and the future inside.

Hoping one day, I’ll find where I belong,

In this ever-changing world, I’ll find my song.
