Lost Lullaby
words & music by Chapman James
Some say we're here to learn to suffer
To weep and hurt, to bleed and bruise
In our twilight we discover
We simply came to learn to lose
A soul is blind to mortal notions
The heart sees only love on high
Without this sojourn as a human
There would be no lullabies
Lullaby... Lullaby
A song that folds you in her wings
You cannot choose
All you lose
Who you are is what you sing
We are born without conception
Of how to live a life alone
Seeking solace thru connection
Which isolation can atone
We who wish time could grow slower
We who fear the day's too long
We who blink and it's all over
Become the sum of precious songs
This frail existence is a whisper
From a pale dot in some sky
They say you cannot take it with you
But, I'll bring with me a lullaby
Lullaby... Lullaby
A song that folds you in her wings
You cannot choose
All you lose
Who you are is what you sing
