Wishing Well - Monte Montgomery

In the corner of a box marked lost and found

I find myself again

Lining the bottom of a wishing well

With other dreams that might have been

Flattened by the pressure of what’s coming down

I’m relying on faith second hand

I used to be an average man

With bigger than average plans

Somehow I got lost along the way

And now I’m here

Don’t you know that you could be the one

To set me free

I’ve waited all my life to be someone

Somebody could see

You can find me still in the corner of a box

Marked lost and found at the bottom of

A wishing well

Burdened by the weight of a wrecking ball

I’m defining my own sense of worth

I want to bathe my soul in the light

As religion finds me immersed

Destitution knows me by name

While the trick is to sit where you stand

I used to be an average man

With bigger than average plans

Somehow I got lost along the way

And now I’m here

Don’t you know that you could be the one

To set me free

I’ve waited all my life to be someone

Somebody could see

You can find me still in the corner of a box

Marked lost and found at the bottom of

A wishing well

I’m caught shuddering by myself

Each wish in the shape of a coin

Legal tender for wishes thrown

As the water reflects the unknown

The tide rips through the surface of time

But I can’t think of when it began

I used to be an average man

With bigger than average plans

Somehow I got lost along the way

And now I’m here

Don’t you know that you could be the one

To set me free

I’ve waited all my life to be someone

Somebody could see

You can find me still in the corner of a box

Marked lost and found at the bottom of

A wishing well
