lyrics

[Chorus]
They wonder, “Darling, are you lost now?”
They wonder, “Darling, are you lost now?”
Well, I say “No, no, no, no, no!
I’m just finding my way!”
They wonder, “Darling, are you done now?”
They wonder, “Darling, are you done now?”
Well, I say “No, no, no, no, no!
I’m just starting my day!”

[Bridge]
But where do all the stray souls go?
When everybody else seems to know
Of a place they call their home—
Or so they say.
What do all the hurt hearts hold
When writing all the words left untold.
Living for the new revolt
Made up of strays?

[Verse 1]
Strap your boots on;
We’re going for a march now.
Bring your roses,
But be careful of the thorns.

[Chorus]
They wonder, “Darling, are you lost now?”
They wonder, “Darling, are you lost now?”
Well, I say “No, no, no, no, no!
I’m just finding my way!”
They wonder, “Darling, are you done now?”
They wonder, “Darling, are you done now?”
Well, I say “No, no, no, no, no!
I’m just starting my day!”

[Verse 2]
Let the sun rise.
We’re going to need the sunshine.
We are here now.
And we’re ready to be seen.

[Chorus]
They wonder, “Darling, are you lost now?”
They wonder, “Darling, are you lost now?”
Well, I say “No, no, no, no, no!
I’m just finding my way!”
They wonder, “Darling, are you done now?”
They wonder, “Darling, are you done now?”
Well, I say “No, no, no, no, no!
I’m just starting my day!”

[Bridge]
But where do all the stray souls go?
When everybody else seems to know
Of a place they call their home—
Or so they say.
What do all the hurt hearts hold
When writing all the words left untold.
Living for the new revolt
Made up of strays?
