Missing Person - Michael W. Smith

1st Verse:

Another question in me One for the powers that be It’s got me thrown

And so I put on my poker face

And try to figure it out

This undeniable doubt

A common occurence

Feeling so out of place

Guarded and cynical now

Can’t help but wondering how

My heart evolved into

The rock beating inside of me So I reel such a stoic ordeal

Where’s that feeling that I don’t feel

Chorus:

There was a boy who had the faith to move a mountain

And like a child he would believe without a reason

Without a trace he disappeared into the void and

I’ve been searchin' for that missing person

2nd verse:

Under a lavender moon

So many thoughts consume me Who dimmed that glowing light

That once burned so bright in me Is this a radical phase

A problematical age

That keeps me running

From all that I used to be Is there a way to return

Is there a way to unlearn

That carnal knowledge

That’s chipping away at my soul

Have I been gone too long

Will I ever find my way home

Chorus:

There was a boy who had the faith to move a mountain

And like a child he would believe without a reason

Without a trace he disappeared into the void and

I’ve been searchin' for that missing person

He used to want to try to walk the straight and narrow

He had a fire and he could feel it in the marrow

It’s been a long time and I haven’t seen him lately

But I’ve been searchin' for that missing person
