A Lost Cause Lyrics

It often occurs to me there are words

That we use that hurt people

We have no time for, room in our lives for

The lost and lonely, afflicted with only

The missed opportunities

Those that you and me see as a matter of course

How could they have fallen so quickly and appallingly short?

Whatever the reasons there may be

We know there must be a decency in such a divorce

Like you and like me, it's never our fault

And neither should there ever be anything called a lost cause

The mission we signed for; the distant horizon

We struggled and strived for; cuddled and cried for

Gave our lives for

In the skip of a heartbeat

The flip of a card beats the drum that we march to

In the dark till the stars tell our course

But the stars aren't working when we're looking down

And we never want to stay out of reach

And all I pray for is we'll each be found

Like you and like me, it's not about down and out

And neither should it ever be anything about a lost cause

There's never a lost cause

No such thing as a lost cause
