Foreign Land

I'm on automatic pilot

Since I feel too much pain

The whirlwind of emotions

Is driving me insane

My eyes see far beyond

I ever dreamed I'd spot

My ears are tuned in

To the deepest of all thought

My senses have antennas

For the frequencies within

So clear yet full of static

I feel strangely alien

I believe I've overstepped

I've trespassed into a place

Where all are stripped of privacy

They all live in disgrace

But this inner realm allows me

To transform all life's pain

To G-dly love- my inspiration

With this I can be sane

This world I share with G-d

You could never understand

For it is oddly mine alone

I live on foreign land
