I can't find where I'm supposed to be,
Nor am I able to find my way
I laugh and giggle and try to play
I may be saucy, I may be able to
But I still can't find my way
I could be anything, a dove
I'm still unable to be different
I wish I could, I wish I pray
But I can't find my way.
My way is near, it is close
But who am I if I'm not most?
I can laugh and be able to boast
But who am I if I'm a fish
Whose unable to stay afloat
I'm drowning, a drowning wish
Wish to be more than this
I can look at the number, 4th
4th couldn't make the top 3rd.
4th is there, all alone, no worth
Who am I if I'm unable to word?
I try so hard, I succeed
This can't be meant to be
I drown in my puddle of greed
Who am I? I'm just a we
