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 a 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 drums 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 mind
You know there's nothing
left to hide
We're already there
I used to cry
Cry for the lost
I was walking away
I used to try
to find a reason
Then I looked inside
I used to 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 together
I used to try
Then I looked inside
