Lost from the Start

Into this world he was thrown
Nineteen eighty eight
Inherited confusion
Saw the world through a lense of grey

He loved and was loved, they watched him grow up
The boys and the girls would always keep a place in their hearts
But he was born a traveller, he was destined to leave
And the words of friends and kind would be the wind at his back

But just like me, my friend would find, where you go, there you are
Escape this place, climb the hill, you were lost from the start
And just like me, my friend would find, where you go, there you are
But unlike me, was brave enough to leave, we were lost from the start

And he goes, into the sunset
Places to find and mountains to climb and visions divine in the stars
Yes he goes, into the sunset
Oceans to cross and fields to roam and nightmares are behind the smiles of the people you trust

You were lost from the start
