Michael Buble - Lost Lyrics
Lyrics
Can't believe it's over
I watched the whole thing fall
And I never saw the writing that was on the wall
If I'd only knew
The days were slipping past
That the good things would never last
That you were crying
Mmm, summer turned to winter
And the snow had turned to rain
And the rain turned into tears upon your face
I hardly recognized the girl you are today
And God, I hope it's not too late
Mmm, it's not too late
Chorus:
'Cause you are not alone
I'm always there with you
And we'll get lost together
Till the light comes pouring through
'Cause when you feel like you're done
And the darkness has won
Babe, you're not lost
When your world's crashing down
And you can't bear the thought
I said, "Babe, you're not lost"
Life can show no mercy, it
It can tear your soul apart
It can make you feel like you've gone crazy
But you're not
And things have seem to changed
There's one thing that's still the same
In my heart, you have remained
And we can fly, fly, fly away
Chorus:
'Cause you are not alone
And I am there with you
And we'll get lost together
Till the light comes pouring through
'Cause when you feel like you're done
And the darkness has won
Babe, you're not lost
When the world's crashing down
And you cannot bear the cross
I said, "Baby, you're not lost"
Mmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I said, "Baby, you're not lost"
I said, "Baby, you're not lost"
Ooh, yeah, yeah
I said, "Baby, you're not lost"

Meaning & Inspiration
Michael Bublé's "Lost," released on October 27, 2009, offers a poignant exploration of human struggle and the yearning for divine guidance. While not overtly a Christian song in its lyrical composition, its themes resonate deeply with timeless spiritual truths found within Scripture. The narrative centers on a profound sense of disorientation and a desperate plea for clarity, echoing the psalmist's cry, "Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths" (Psalm 25:4). The song captures the experience of feeling adrift, of searching for direction when the usual compass points seem to have failed. This mirrors the trials faced by many biblical figures who grappled with doubt and uncertainty, from Abraham leaving his homeland without knowing where he was going (Hebrews 11:8) to David, who often felt overwhelmed by his enemies and sought solace in God's unwavering presence, as in Psalm 139:7-10, which asks, "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there." "Lost" speaks to that universal human condition of needing to be found, of desiring a hand to lead us through the darkness and towards a place of peace and purpose. The very act of acknowledging being "lost" is the first step towards seeking a way out, a recognition that our own strength is insufficient and that a higher power's intervention is necessary. This aligns with the wisdom found in Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." The song, through its emotional vulnerability, encourages listeners to confront their own moments of feeling unmoored and to turn towards that steadfast hope that is available to all who seek it. It’s a reminder that even in our most disoriented moments, the possibility of being guided and ultimately found remains.
