Lost And Always Found |
| by Jaime Hickman |
Too far from home I've wandered
dreaming of my life to be,
And of old traditions come and gone
and songs I used to sing and like.
The small clothes I used to fit
and pictures of me years before.
I remember my school teachers, my foes
and my friends that I have lost.
The few that I have kept
and the loves that have been torn.
Any pain or failure I have seen
and any great achievement I have made.
Things have changed so much,
yes it's true,
but I have learned so much, too.
Experiences and feelings
have built me to anew.
I remember when I felt like giving up,
and I know I can live on,
'Cause I have
and I will.
Imagine if I had let go,
and lost all I have gained.
Life would be a blur.
But I can see things clearly now,
Although sometimes I fall astray.
The sun shines down on me,
although darkness often surrounds.
My choices show who I am
and shape the future of my life,
And I never forget where I came from
and all I have overcome.
I realize now that I can be lost
(for a time)
But I will always be found.
