High up in the valley where the snow still lies
Hiding in the shadow of the mountainside
We are lost
Washed into the river with the sticks and stones
Buried in the gravel with the mammoth's bones
We are lost
And we know just what we want, but we don't know how to describe it
And so we keep it locked up inside, we don't want anybody else to find it
We are shaken from the shallows in a winter storm
Flushed into the channel to be swept off shore
We are lost
Cast up on the jetty on a moonlit night
Thrust into the city on a big spring tide
We are lost
And we don't know where we stand, but we think we know what we stand for
And still we keep it locked up inside, because nobody else could understand why
We are lost, with nobody else to blame
We gather in the shadows where we build our strength
Examining each other for the final test
We are lost
We climb into the rocket heading out to space
And come into the orbit of a new found race
We are lost
And we know we're growing up, but we won't know until we get there
We have to keep it locked up inside, don't know if anybody else has been there
And we can tell them where we are from, but we don't know if they'd believe it
So we keep it locked up inside, we don't let anybody share our secret
We are lost, but now we know we're on our way
We are lost
On our way to find peace between our bodies and our brains
We are lost
We are lost
