Chicago Cry For The Lost lyrics

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 I've never heard before
I gotta play along, I can't refuse it
I hear the call

We've 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 we're 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 minds
You know there's nothing left to hide
We're already there

I used to cry, I used to cry for the lost, I was walking away
I used to try to find a reason then I looked inside
I lost my mind every time I was walking away
I gotta find what I'm feeling to bring us together

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

I used to cry, I used to cry for the lost, I was walking away
I used to try to find a reason then I looked inside
I lost my mind every time I was walking away
I gotta find what I'm feeling to bring us together
We can make it better
