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
