Lost Child is inspired by the /r/songaweek theme of “Retrospective.”
A straight forward rock song with a mix of melancholy and encouragement.
Lyrics:
We once had a dream of a life
Spinning round like reels on a tape recorder
Imagine you could be anywhere else
Dust off your impression of a favored son
Aren’t you the lost child
Spending all your days in a world of fantasy?
Aren’t you the lost child
Pretending to be someone that you’re not?
You’ll make it home someday
He once crossed his heart and hoped to die
Keeping all the secrets of the sanctuary
Imagine you could be anyone else
Forget where you came from, forget who you come from
Aren’t you the lost child
Spending all your days in a world of fantasy?
Aren’t you the lost child
Pretending to be someone that you’re not?
You’ll make it home someday
