Lost In the World

Have you ever been lost? 
with no sense of up or down
what could be the cost 
of a lifeless body they found
a man that lost it all
there's nothing he has left
nobody left to call
nothing left but death
but wait is that hope i see up there?
a daughter he left behind
thoughts of the smell of her hair
memorys that cut and bind
nope that was just hope 
and a love he me never find
