I Had Something Lyrics - Lucy Kaplansky

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
