Vārdi: Lucy Kaplansky. 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
