I lost myself
I know not where
I lost myself
Without a care

Without a care
I led my life
Without a care
I faced strife

I faced strife
And wondered why
I faced strife
And had to cry

And had to cry
Was this me?
And had to cry
I must be free!

I must be free
To live my life
I must be free
To face my strife

I lost myself
I know not where
I lost myself
And learned to care
