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   (Cry for the lost I was walking away)   (I used to try to find a reason)   Then I looked inside   (I used my mind everytime 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
