Calic Moon - RISING
Lost Child

Words and music by Shirley Ladd

This song still moves me in a very powerful way. It reflects the depth of love a mother has for her child. I never gave up hope and now she’s finding her way home.

I don’t know where she’ll sleep tonight
Not in this old unmade bed
I say a prayer, turn off the light
Visions running through my head.

Chorus:
I think of days when life was sweet
Filled with teddy bears and lace
Things turned bad I had to face defeat
Now she’s fallen from grace.

I close my eyes and think of her
My newborn baby at my breast
The years go by, still I wonder why
Fate has put us to this test

Chorus:
I think of days when life was sweet
Filled with teddy bears and lace
Things turned bad I had to face defeat
Now she’s fallen from grace.

She grew up, there came a time
A white horse took her far away
To a darkened dungeon, she’s locked inside
Maybe she’ll come back someday.

I light a candle, whisper her name
I’ve done it so many times before
I ask the moon to light her way
And bring her home from this war.

Chorus:
I think of days when life was sweet
Filled with teddy bears and lace
Things turned bad, I had to face defeat
Now we’ve fallen from grace.
