where is my self-worth?

I wade through the waters

Searching through the wreckage.

Where is my self-worth?

Have you seen it?

For it got lost long ago,

It was taken by the devil.

He was disguised as a prince

And he stole what wasn’t his.

He laughed in my face,

As he drank in my power.

I cried for help,

But no one ever came.

He threw me into the ocean,

And I’ve been here ever since.

Searching through the carnage

To find my worth.

Unfortunately there is a problem,

For I don't know what it looks like.

It was missing years before

The devil sliced it out.

So as I wade through the waters,

I search for a needle in a haystack.

Have you seen my self-worth?

If you find it,

Give me a call.

I’ll still be here in the waves

Recovering from the seas of my fall.
