Lost/Found Lyrics

This song is based on the negro spiritual – Amazing Grace,  I just personalized the lyrics to depict my life and circumstances.  When I heard this track – it made me think of baptism and conversion – so it felt right.   When I was recording it, I kept on ad libing in the end and during the first edits I cut it out because it wasn’t as clean as I would have liked, but now I’m glad I left them in:)

I once was lost but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see

I had been down
Head facing ground
And I stayed there
Out of my fear

Shut out the Light
Lost all my sight
Believe the lies
And your Soul dies

Felt like a jail
Set up to fail
Trapped in a box
Couldn’t hear life knocks

Place I had been
Knew I couldn’t win
Believe the lies
And your Soul dies
