[Verse 1]
I've been waAmitin' on the wind to chD7ange direction
It's beAmen such a very long timD7e
Since IAm've been able to makD7e a decision
That won't waE7ste my tiAmme
So I weAmnt out searching for frD7eedom
Oh, and AmI went out searchin' for D7truth
But what I Amfound was not what I expD7ected
'Cause all those thiE7ngs, they lie inside of yAmou
[Chorus]
But, ohF, don't you fAmall
Into that Fpit of lonelAminess
'Cause I'Fve been there beAmfore
And I dFid not gEet no resAmt
[Verse 2]
Well, I sAmee you've been waitin' on somDething to  
CoAmme and brighten your D7day
Well, IAm'm here now to tell Dyou that you've got
To let E7go of that waAmy
Once it's gone you'll feDel so free
You'll neAmver ever look back agDain
Just like a Ambird flyin' through Dthe trees
With no patE7h to guide, where the hell you put youAmr feet?
[Chorus]
Now, dFon't you fall Aminto that
PFit of lonelAminess
'FCause I've been there Ambefore
[Outro]
And I Fdid not Eget no reAmst
And I Fdid not Eget no reAmst
And I Fdid not Eget no reAmst

Pit of loneliness
