LYRICS

VERSE 1
Lost in aching echoes of my heart
Drowned by empty waves at empty sea
All the breaking memories drift apart
Dreams forgotten never come to be

PRE-CHORUS 1 - PART 1
Tryin’ to find the meaning
Desperate for the way
But as tides move on I keep on swimming
Stuck in yesterday
Tryin’ to find the meaning
Desperate for the way
But as tides move on I keep on swimming
Stuck in yesterday
(Lost my meaning
Lost my way
Lost in tides of
Yesterday)
(I just wanna find my meaning
I just wanna
Stuck in stuck in stuck in stuck in stuck in
Yesterday)
Tryin’ to find the meaning
Desperate for the way
But as tides move on I keep on swimming
Stuck in yesterday

PRE-CHORUS 1 - PART 2
Time erases everywhere
I thought that I would go
Shadows paint the faces
Of the friends I’ll never know
But then I find an island with the Greatest TV show and I am found

CHORUS
Suddenly, I’m free
Life is more than we can see
Bridges to be crossed
Are possible because of “Lost”
Suddenly, I’m free
Life is more than we can see
Bridges to be crossed
Are possible because of “Lost”

VERSE 2
Many people going by
I move on alone in one direction
Never stop to wonder why
How our paths can cross with one connection

PRE-CHORUS 2
But Lost reminds people make connections every season
Cause Lost reminds me everything will happen for a reason

CHORUS
Suddenly, I’m free
Life is more than we can see
Bridges to be crossed
Are possible because of “Lost”

RAP
Lost
Six Seasons of Lost
Six life-changing seasons of strangers star-crossed on a
Journey till the end
As they grow and discover to love one another and mend
Their mistakes
To embrace the struggle of whatever it takes to
Live together or die alone
The love we share
Will light us home
In the deepening dark or infinite pain
With every struggle, there’s much to gain
Through the lens of time we clearly see
The unplanned path turns out to be
What led us here despite the fear
Of what may not seem like destiny
Cause we live
In the now
Despite what fates avow
The mystery of life
We know that things will work somehow
So we listen and grow
And challenge what we know
With different perspectives that help us to show
The connecting connections between one anotha
A meaning in another life, brotha

But
For now, we know
That Lost is not just a TV show
It’s a portal; it’s a way
To an endless brighter day
But often people want to hate
Before they get the chance to wait and see
The brilliance and resilience
Of the greatest TV show to date
So when rewatching causes doubt
I know this much is true
Don’t tell me what I can’t do

WHISTLING SCAT SOLO

REPRISE
All the aching echoes of my heart
Are lost by empty waves on my TV
A bright new day is waiting for its start
When Lost becomes the show you want to see

CHORUS
Suddenly, I’m free
Life is more than we can see
Bridges to be crossed
Are possible because of “Lost”

CHORUS
Suddenly, I’m free
Life is more than we can see
Bridges to be crossed
Are possible because of “Lost”
I am found

Because of Lost I am found
