Had a smile that weighed a ton
There was nothing in that man but life
It's all I hear from everyone -
The time I should have been there to see the hero or the clown
But I don't know, it seems like sometimes
Somethings are best left lost, then found
He grew up on the ocean and loved the open sea
He must've felt alive out there alone and strong and wild and free
Even cold and tired, lost and looking for the ground
He should have figured sometimes the best things in life are lost, then found
Always say the best is lost, then found
Whatever it is you're going through the best things in life are coming around
The future's just a worry, the past is just a dream
This isn't my opinion, it's only what I've seen
He grew into a soldier and he fought in many wars
The wars at home and wars with songs, the forgotten war before Vietnam
And I wonder what it felt like when they handed him a gun
I wonder if he killed a father, I wonder if he killed a son
He tried to be preacher and sort of almost was
But he couldn't find his place in faith he fought with teachers and fought with God
He never took it easy, he never settled down
He never realized sometimes the best things in life are lost, then found
Always say the best is lost, then found
Whatever it is you're going through the best things in life are coming around
The future's just a worry, the past is just a dream
This isn't my opinion, it's only what I've seen
The plain truth is my father died in jail
I wonder what that room was like
I wonder how his busted body felt
And I'll never get to know those things unless I get that far down
I guess that's why they say sometimes the best things in life are lost, then found
Always say the best is lost, then found
Whatever it is you're going through the best things in life are coming around
The future's just a worry, the past is just a dream
This isn't my opinion, it's only what I've seen
It's only what I've seen
