Lucy Kaplansky - I Had Something
INTRO: Em  
I had something, it fell from me
Something Cstrong, like a pounding GdruDm
Like ringing Embells, when I was Cyoung
I had Dsomething and it was Emgone
I had something, made me walk all night
Made me run from Chome, made me GfigDht
I had Emsomething, made me feel aClone
Like an Dorphan waiting for a Emhome
CHORUS:
Every Cfootstep Gthat I Dtake
Completes the Ccircle Dmy life Emmakes
Every Cliving Gthing has ties that Dbind
What I Am7lost reCturns with love in Emtime
I heard something, it called to me
And it Ctold me I was GsavDed
Not by Emgod and not by Cwords
Not by Dany living Emthing
It was the voice that I once knew
Of my Cdaughter, of my GsonD  
Not yet Emborn and not yet Cknown
Another Dorphan waiting for a Emhome
CHORUS:
Every Cfootstep Gthat I Dtake
Completes the Ccircle Dmy life Emmakes
Every Cliving Gthing has ties that Dbind
What I Am7lost reCturns with love in Emtime
INSTRUMENTAL:    Em     C    G    D     Em     C    D  Em  
CHORUS:
Every Cfootstep Gthat I Dtake
Completes the Ccircle Dmy life Emmakes
Every Cliving Gthing has ties that Dbind
What I Am7lost reCturns with love in Emtime
Every Cliving Gthing has ties that Dbind
What I Am7lost reCturns with love in Emtime

Lucy Kaplansky - I Had Something

INTRO:

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

Em C G D Em C D Em

INSTRUMENTAL:

CHORUS:

C G D

Every footstep that I take

What I lost returns with love in time

Every living thing has ties that bind
