Lost and Found
It’s sticks and stones, what used to be.
It’s blood and bones. No mystery.
It’s give and take and hide and seek
And what won’t break you makes you weak…
Oh! I ain’t got a choice.
It’s been taken from my hands.
There’s no way to turn this train around.
Oh! I ain’t got a voice
And I don’t understand.
Life is just a search through lost and found.
It’s laugh or cry… What’s in the heart.
Hello, goodbye… An end, a start…
It’s this or that and quid pro quo
And tit for tat but it’s all show.
Oh! I ain’t got a choice.
It’s been taken from my hands.
There’s no way to turn this train around.
Oh! I ain’t got a voice
And I don’t understand.
Life is just a search through lost and found.
It’s make it, take it, changing rules
And you can’t fake it when you’re cool
It’s hot and cold, it’s fire and ice.
It’s solid gold… Worth any price…
It sounds profound but simple stuff
Is all around so, call their bluff.
And stake your claim on planet Earth
For who’s to say what life is worth….
Oh! I ain’t got a choice.
It’s been taken from my hands.
There’s no way to turn this train around.
Oh! I ain’t got a voice
And I don’t understand.
Life is just a search through lost and found.
