Where have you been ?

Where have you been.

I wonder. Can’t move, traffic light is at green

Say, it was all a dream

Where have you been.

Let me put it this way

Life was chasing another day

Restless, taking another step

Never been the kind to take it back

Life is hard

Take me back to the start

Take me by the hand

Confused like a child – that doesn’t understand

So much pressure in this world

So much beauty in a single word

‘Peace’

Tasted at the very least

Where have you been.

I wonder. Can’t move, traffic light is at green

Say, it was all a dream

Where have you been.

Picture this

I might not be the kind to miss

Whether it’s right

It’s up to you to decide

Storyteller with the overcast past

Heavily burdened, life spins fast

Appreciate that you try to lift the weight

Storyteller tell me your story before it’s too late

Raised to believe in success

Count the banknote before you bless

Empty hands shaped me, didn’t hear me confess

Nevertheless

I tried to put a smile on your face

Even though, loneliness came back at a steady pace

Never played poker, but inherited the face expression

Smile for me, like the twenties before the Great Depression

I needed time

Time to free my mind

I tried you know

It’s not easy to let it go

Where have you been.

I wonder. Can’t move, traffic light is at green

Say, it was all a dream

Where have you been.

Let me put it this way

Can’t believe what I see, the reason I pray?

Restless, people wanting more

Never been guided to the right door

Life is hard

Take me back before I fall apart

Take me back in time

Confused like a child – afraid of the night

So much hate in this world

So much love in a single word

‘Peace’

Tasted at very least

Where have you been.

I wonder. Can’t move, traffic light is at green

Say, it was all a dream

Where have you been?
