Outcasts
© 2012 Starburst/Bobby Sahlen, Gatorlegs Music,ASCAP

Set adrift in dead of night; no compass and no oars
Now we wander aimlessly; purposeful no more
We can never get it right, too busy settling scores
Set adrift beyond true light; misfits ever more
(chorus)
Outcasts for all seasons, misbegotten souls
Wrong for all right reasons; everybody knows
Rebels without causes; devoid of earthly goals
Outcasts for all seasons, misbegotten souls
Sentenced to no life at all; pounding bricks of shame
Repentance dulls the morning light when everyone's to blame
Warnings seldom heeded when triggers rule the day
Cycles come meandering when they can find their way
(repeat chorus)
(bridge 1)
Aint no horn of plenty in the present tense
We've lost our direction, we've lost our common sense.
(instrumental interlude)
(bridge 2)
Ain't no horn of plenty invited to the dance
History's lost direction; not by happenstance
(repeat chorus)
