Along the way some dreams get shattered Left behind they are pages faded and tattered And they lay there on the road rained on 'til some unsuspecting soul comes along 'cause sooner or later, what gets lost gets found Chorus: They are embers from the fire Waiting for a gentle breeze Holding only one desire That things just don't have to be The way they are What has slipped away long forgotten Been misplaced for a time forsaken But it tries to hang on as long as it can 'cause there has got to be some good in man 'cause sooner or later, what gets lost gets found
