Lyrics
Lose My Soul Words and Music by Richard Michelson c 2005
Thirty days, I’ve got thirty days to live my life.
I was looking for some answers
Now I’m just lookin’ for more time.
Thirty days left; it ain’t that much time.
I’ve been lookin’for my God or am I just runnin’away?
Time has been my shadow
But he’s got nothing to say.
Maybe you can find me
Help me to find my way.
Maybe I’ve been lost or am I just losing control?
I’m sure that I could hide but then I might just lose my soul.
Maybe I’ve been lost or am I just losing control?
I’m sure that I could run but then I’ll just lose my soul.
I’ve been lookin’ for some answers, have you seen any hangin’ around?
I’ve been listening for the dark rider
With my ear to the ground.
He knows where I’ve been and he knows where I’m bound.
There’s darkness on the horizon, the sun is getting low.
My horse has climbed my mountain
but I’m still way too slow.
That dark rider is now approaching; I see his dust trail below.
Maybe I’ve been lost or am I just losing control?
I’m sure that I could hide but then I might just lose my soul.
Maybe I’ve been lost or am I just losing control?
I’m sure that I could run but then I’ll just lose my soul.
Lose my soul.
