Lost

A song about a failure...

Lost
(c) HWBerkhout, dec 2020/dec, 2023

V
If you had seen me, I was smiling
I had created you!
If you had heard me, I was cheering;
You lived on my earth too
V
My whole heart was beating for you
'cause I loved humanity
Only my commandments you soon forgot
That was really hard to see for a God

Chorus
I thought the earth would be a stunning place
to live a happy life
Where harmony would be in the air
and peace was everywhere

V
Now my heart skipped some beats
Because nothing went so well
All I ever asked is misled
by false preachers of heaven and hell

Chorus
I thought the earth would be a stunning place
to live a happy life
Where harmony would be in the air,
Instead you created despair

V
If you can hear me, you can change it
I hope I can give you some signs
But I see more anger and frustration
Those were no goals of mine
V
If you believe me, you can change it
Still I don't see your signs
I only see more fear and disillusions
Not the goals of mine
V
If you see me, you must change it
But I fear there isn't much time
I see more greed, wars and stupidity
Not the goals of mine

Chorus
I thought the earth would be a stunning place
to live a happy life
Where harmony would be in the air
and peace everywhere

So I think you got it now
I've lost,
I've lost...
