Lucy Kaplansky - I Had Something lyrics

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
