I Had Something

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
