FEEL LIKE
by James McBride
I feel like a searcher
staring up into the night
Feel like a boxer
who threw a title fight
I feel like a student
discovering the truth
Feel like a old man
who forgot his youth
Feel like a preist, who
prayed a thousand prayers
Feel like a mother, who
walked a thousand stairs.
Feel like a doctor, who
could cure, but doesn't care.
Feel like a soldier,
hip deep in paddy mud.
Feel like a victim
of the Johnstown flood.
Feel like I could haller
Feel I just might
Feel like a searcher
staring into the night.
