Lost And Found Lyrics

I used to hear them say of bad news, when it rains then it pours

Fitting for a generation yearning out for more

A story of the ancients etched in relics from before

Faded echoes that survive this vicious cycle that we mourn

No telling how much pain a people can ignore

How much heartache can communities endure?

How much of the problem is systemic and ensured?

How much profit over people can executives procure?

Tension on my conscience, feel it wrenching at the core

The walls are closing in, I need an exit to explore

When precious opportunity comes knocking at the door

Will you dive into the waters or keep standing at the shore?

Long lost but I have found

The bright of day, the here and now

The ways of old are out of view

Before I go, I'm waiting for you

This is child's play indeed

Realization of wants, hopes, and dreams

Good intentions tangled with vines, thorns, and weeds

Racing through a thicket that blinds, rakes, bleeds

Anxious in our slumber, we moan, beg, and plead

The cart's before the horse but the eyes don't perceive

Monster in the flesh that the mind won't believe

And few among us left with the courage to come clean

I know the sigh of subsisting without the means

Aim that's off the mark when you drifted by mere degrees

The hunt for explanations and answers we all need

I've come to find the truth is much stranger than what it seems

Long lost but I have found

The bright of day, the here and now

The ways of old are out of view

Before I go, I'm waiting for you

Lost but not forgotten

In our struggle no stopping until it's found

Till dawn has cleared the haze and the bright of the day surrounds

No death before dishonor, no reason for guilt to shroud

No need to check the records, my signature's in the sound

To capture that potential one seizes the pain

Conquers the doubt and remains up though the weight of it hangs down

You're thinking on the stage but you're standing inside the crowd

Leap off the precipice of change for the moment that's right now
