Intro: Em I had something, it fell from me C G D Something strong, like a pounding drum Em C Like ringing bells, when I was young D Em I had something and it was gone I had something, made me walk all night C G D Made me run from home, made me fight Em C I had something, made me feel alone D Em Like an orphan waiting for a home Chorus: C G D Every footstep that I take C D Em Completes the circle my life makes C G D Every living thing has ties that bind Am7 C Em What I lost returns with love in time I heard something, it called to me C G D And it told me I was saved Em C Not by god and not by words D Em Not by any living thing It was the voice that I once knew C G D Of my daughter, of my son Em C Not yet born and not yet known D Em Another orphan waiting for a home Chorus: C G D Every footstep that I take C D Em Completes the circle my life makes C G D Every living thing has ties that bind Am7 C Em What I lost returns with love in time Instrumental: Em C G D Em C D Em Chorus: C G D Every footstep that I take C D Em Completes the circle my life makes C G D Every living thing has ties that bind Am7 C Em What I lost returns with love in time C G D Every living thing has ties that bind Am7 C Em What I lost returns with love in time
