Bill Beare - A Lost Cause Lyrics

It often occurs to me there are words
That we use that hurt people
We have no time for, room in our lives for
The lost and lonely, afflicted with only
The missed opportunities
Those that you and me see as a matter of course
How could they have fallen so quickly and appallingly short?
Whatever the reasons there may be
We know there must be a decency in such a divorce
Like you and like me, it's never our fault
And neither should there ever be anything called a lost cause

The mission we signed for; the distant horizon
We struggled and strived for; cuddled and cried for
Gave our lives for
In the skip of a heartbeat
The flip of a card beats the drum that we march to
In the dark till the stars tell our course
But the stars aren't working when we're looking down
And we never want to stay out of reach
And all I pray for is we'll each be found
Like you and like me, it's not about down and out
And neither should it ever be anything about a lost cause
There's never a lost cause
No such thing as a lost cause
