Where is My Rider? © 2006

Here I am, it's mid-day,
where did my rider go?
I just started leading the pack
and now I just don't know.

Why does it always happen to me
just as I am getting ahead.
I lose the thing that guides me on,
and now I am alone instead.

My rider said we were as one,
now he's on another horse.
What in the world did I do,
to change my rider's course?

Life doesn't seem to favor me,
who's left to hold MY reins?
I try and try to get ahead,
but now I'm left here feeling the pain.

Am I meant to be alone?
I cannot believe that's true.
I need someone to confide in,
to keep me from feeling so blue.

I'm looking out over the land
in search of a new friend,
because I chose not to believe it's in my plan
to be all alone in the end.
