Cry for the Lost

[Intro] Oh [Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] We've all been so proud of our blindness No kindness to share [Chorus] 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) We can make it better We can make it right [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] And I see children marching And I hear the drum again [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] 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 Oh oh oh [Bridge] 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 every time I was walking away) (I gotta find what I'm feeling) To bring us together [Chorus] I used to cry for the lost Until I had to turn away Then I looked inside (Then I looked inside), past the fool And found some deeper words to say To bring us together (Together, oh) Cry for the lost (I used to cry for the lost) Until I had to turn away (I used to try to find a reason) Then I looked inside, past the fool (I used my mind every time I was walking away) Found some deeper words to say (I gotta find what I'm feeling) To bring us together (We can make it better)
