All is Not Lost - Johnny Clegg

Something’s changed in the weather

There’s a movement underground

Something slipped from the finger

And may never again be found

Standing lost by a river

In a land far from you

I came seeking things of value

Only found a point of view

Dark morning bring the fear

The future lost its way

And you are many worlds apart from me

It’s hard to believe it when you say:

«All is not lost, all is not lost

If you really want to know listen to your heart

All is not lost, all is not lost

Don’t let the world tear you apart»

Reading through your letter

I was taken by the truth

You said «Wherever you go, there’s no way out,

You have to take yourself with you»

I dreamed I was holding a feather

Of a bird that once flew

The old man suffers from

The boy inside he once knew
