I had something
|
It fell from me
|
Something strong
|
Like a pounding drum
|
Like ringing bells
|
When I was young
|
I had something
|
And it was gone
|
|
I had something
|
Made me walk all night
|
Made me run from home
|
Made me fight
|
I had something
|
Made me feel alone
|
Like an orphan
|
Waiting for a home
|
|
Every footstep that I take
|
Completes the circle my life makes
|
Every living thing has ties that bind
|
What I lost returns with love and time
|
|
I heard something
|
It called to me
|
And it told me
|
I was saved
|
Not by God
|
And not by words
|
Not by any living thing
|
|
It was the voice that I once knew
|
Of my daughter or my son
|
Not yet born
|
And not yet known
|
Another orphan waiting for a home
|
|
Every footstep that I take
|
Completes the circle my life makes
|
Every living thing has ties that bind
|
What I lost returns with love and time
|
Every living thing has ties that bind
|
What I lost returns with love and time
|
