I lack (alack!)
A mind to mutter to
All that wanders through
My wondering mind.
Eyes to see
The need and meet
The whole that I
(alack!), I lack
I lack (alack!)
The space to share
The words to reach
Out anywhere
A tongue to speak
The fire that burns
This life that I
(alack!), I lack.
I lack (alack!)
The thing that keeps
Man sane, the bliss,
The ignorance of never
Knowing what's amiss
To never feel the
Pain of nothing I
(alack!), I lack.
I lack (alack!)
The brakes to slow
Down the mind
That turns and toils
Constantly without
A break, reminding
Me of all that I
(alack!), I lack.
I lack (alack!)
The heart to hear
The voice that
Whispers in my ear
That tells me truth
that He supplies
All that I
(alack!), I lack.
