Never knew what I was looking for

Never knew what I was looking for
Though I tried my very best
How was I to find that thing?
If I didn't know how to ask?


I was lost in my loneliness
No-one to be my friend
I was lost and looking for 
Never knowing what I missed


Never knew who I was looking for 
Though I searched far to the west
How was I to find my future?
Didn't want to know my past!


Yes I was lost in my loneliness
Nobody was my friend
I was lost and looking for 
Something only ever guessed


Never knew how to look for love
Though I thought I knew
How would I ever find myself?
If I didn't know where to look?


I was lost in my loneliness
Nobody wanted me
I was lost and looking for
A treasure only glimpsed


Never knew what I was looking for
Searched and searched the world
How was I ever to be at peace?
I was that lost and frightened sheep!


I was lost in my loneliness
Only one would be my friend
He had already ransomed me
And was living in my heart!
