Cry for the Lost (2008 Remaster)

Something I forgot that I used to know

Keeps on coming back around

Somewhere in the dark right before the dawn

Like a light from down the hall

Suddenly some old familiar music

Songs I know I've never heard before

I gotta play along I can't refuse it

I hear the call

We've all been so proud of our blindness

No kindness to share

I used to cry for the lost

Until I had to turn away

Then I looked inside past the fool

And found some deeper words to say

To bring us together

We can make it better

We can make it right

We hide behind the veil of our own success

While we're following the rules

Our eyes refuse to see past our little hands

To the never changing truth

Freedom needs to speak a little louder

Justice needs to try her other arm

Some of us could push a little harder

To sound the alarm

And I see children marching

And I hear the drum again

I used to cry for the lost

Until I had to turn away

Then I looked inside past the fool

And found some deeper words to say

If we hope and pray

It will come give it half a chance

Everyone understand

In our hearts and our minds

You know there's nothing left to hide

We're already there

I used to cry

Used to cry for the lost I was walking away

I used to try to find a reason

Then I looked inside

I used my mind everytime I was walking away

I gotta find what I'm feeling

To bring us together

I used to cry for the lost

Until I had to turn away

Then I looked inside past the fool

And found some deeper words to say

To bring us together

I used to cry for the lost

Until I had to turn away

Then I looked inside past the fool

And found some deeper words to say
