In All The Wrong Places

Maybe you can’t find what you’re after

Because you’re looking in all the wrong places,

And for all the wrong things.

Maybe what you want, is not what you need at all

And maybe what you need has been right there in front of you.

Maybe we just can’t see some things

Not because they’re not there,

But because we’d rather not see.

Too distracted by our own righteousness to ever take notice.

And too blinded by our own ego.

Maybe we’re too busy convincing our selves that we know best

When in reality, we know nothing at all.

Maybe the answers you seek are right there, right now,

But you're spending way too much time talking to yourself

And not enough time listening.
