Cry for the Lost - Chicago

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 Ive never heard before.

I gotta play along I cant refuse it I hear the call.

Weve all been so proud of our blindness

No kindness to share

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.

We can make it better

We can make it right.

We hide behind the veil of our own success,

While were 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.

And I see children marching

And I hear the drums again

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.

If we hope and pray,

It will come, give it half a chance.

Everyone, understand

In our hearts and our mind,

You know theres nothing left to hide,

Were already there.

I used to cry.

Cry for the lost I was walking away.

I used to try to find a reason.

Then I looked inside,

I used to mind everytime I was walking away,

I gotta find what Im feeling

To bring us together.

Repeat chorus
