It's a beautiful day
I'm front-page in the London News Today
On a missing list ...
I got to know more
"Have you seen that man?"
That face is quite familiar to my old mind
She hopes I'm doing fine, wishes me well,
Would like to know where I am
I failed to drive a responsible life
I let myself go, I took the big dive
Now I ask for a penny and a bottle of wine
I'm waiting for something that money can't buy
Happy and smiling ...
I feel God is a child
Playing hide and seek with our lives
Testing how deep is our faith and love
How much do we trust in something above
No turning back, my hopes and dreams are paint in black
I'm an empty soul, I've been denied
Now I ask for a penny and a bottle of wine
I'm waiting for something that money can't buy
Belonging and smiling ...
I wish that I could get back to life
To have a job, a home and some plans
With loving children and beautiful wife
Someone to dry the tears from my eyes
