I. THE FLOOD Not long ago I slipped away And now I'm searching for a trace A feeling, a hole in my life It almost seems I can't go on My afterimage surely gone I'm drowning, I'm lost in the tide Through the mist I caught a glimpse Of the child trapped inside I'm reaching, why can't I get through? Though I strain my voice so hard Not a word is ever heard I'm sleeping, asleep wide awake I'm fighting, fighting to wake [CHORUS] I was lost, lost in the flood I will search for the child whose lost inside He bears the scars of time In the moment that I fell I didn't know that I was down Dreaming, I opened my eyes I'd give my dreams just to wake Sound my voice and clear the haze I'm drifting, I'm floating away I'm sleeping, asleep wide awake [CHORUS] I was lost, lost in the flood I will search for the child whose lost inside Though it seems the sleep is here to stay I can't give up, I must somehow stir awake Love still flows, it's just lost in the haze I can't let pain turn my heart to clay A simple prayer for you my friend... May God let all your troubles end. A feeling, a hole in my life I'm drowning, I'm lost in the tide I'm sleeping, asleep wide awake I'm fighting, fighting to wake Though it seems the sleep is here to stay I can't give up, I must somehow stir awake Love still flows, it's just lost in the haze I can't let pain turn my heart to clay The flood that comes is drowning me It carries me to the open sea I'm sinking in the stagnant pools I've learned to play the bitter fool Lost inside the wall of sleep The innocent child is there for keeps A simple prayer for you my dear... May all your troubles disappear. II. REFLECTIONS I was lost, lost in the flood I'm the one, who is always here for yo
