Intro: Em 


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

      C        G      D 
Every footstep that I take

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

Every living thing has ties that bind 
       Am7    C                  Em
