We hear it all the time

The crackled PA system in the supermarket
Looking for a child who lost his mother
Blonde hair, brown eyes, denim overalls

The angry dad on a road trip
No mater how many times he checked the map
He still can’t find Idaho’s largest ball of twine
Circling the minivan for hours

Your coworker can’t come in today
She lost her keys again
She’s searched the couch cushions, the cupboard, and the car
Guess she’ll be working overtime

You tell someone you’re lost
And they frown and tell you it’ll get better
But being lost isn’t terrible
We’re all lost

Lost in thought at school
Just boy drama and arithmetic
She dreams of singing on a stage in the big city
Twenty years later so many people came to hear her
The government got involved in taking down a monopoly for her

On his fast-paced walk to work today
He stared at his watch too long
Anticipating tardiness again
And ran head-first into someone
Spilling coffee on each other
Looking up, lost in each other’s eyes
Five years later the stress and bustle is over
And he’s sitting on the porch with his husband
Wearing their coffee stained polos

Lost in the book
Lost in the song
Lost in the drawing
Lost in the excitement
Lost in the love

What is lost must be found
And isn’t discovery an amazing thing
