lost, lost, it's totally lost
out on the sea it's tossed
I looked along the beach
but it was just out of reach

I looked among some boats
because I'm pretty sure it floats
I looked in some seedy bars
thought I'd found it in fast cars

I looked along the Florida coast
but all I found were men who boast
and I looked up in Seattle too
because I didn't know what else to do

I looked among my family
but my hands started getting clammy
I looked among my friends
but that's not where this story ends

So I looked in movies and books
and stories of captains with hooks
and I looked inside my heart
that's where it was lost in the start

Something is so hard to find
when it's only a thing in your mind
courage, peace, a purpose to hope
a reason to laugh and not to mope

Then I looked into the sky
that's when I started to cry
I stopped trying to control my fate
because I know now, that God's my soulmate.

Now that doesn't mean I can't wed
that I have to be alone till I'm dead
to care and to feel comes from above
so now, only now, am I free to love
