When You Feel Lost

When you feel lost and all alone
Reach your hands toward the sky
Remember what the sun has shown

When it seems like all you can do is cry
Follow the path the wind has blown
Reach your hands toward the sky

Watch where the birds have flown
In your mind, you can lift and fly
Follow the path, the wind has blown

Each step taken, is a welcome to try
To accept what it is that’s known
In your mind, you can lift and fly

Let flowers grow from seeds sown
Watch with gratitude, all that goes by
To accept what it is that’s known

Find new hellos with each goodbye
When you feel lost and all alone
Watch with gratitude, all that goes by
Remember what the sun has shown
