In the shadows of the past
We grieve what once was near
Lost in the echoes of our hearts
We find both joy and fear
What we thought was gone for good
Left us with a tear
But in the emptiness we find
There's wisdom drawing near
The things we cherished fade away
Like sand through open hands
Yet the meaning in our loss
Reveals a truth that understands
For every empty space we face
There's a lesson to embrace
Guiding us through the void
With strength and gentle grace
In the lessons of the lost
We find a brighter way
Understanding through the pain
The price we had to pay
Though we miss the things we had
Their meaning starts to show
In the journey of our hearts
The lessons help us grow
The paths we once walked faithfully
Now lead us through the dark
Yet in the night of what we've lost
We ignite a vital spark
Through the struggle and the grief
We uncover what's been learned
The lessons of our past mistakes
Are the wisdom we have earned
So we treasure every memory
And honor what has passed
In the lessons that we gather
Our future is amassed
For the things that we have lost
Will guide us to the dawn
In the tapestry of life
The wisdom keeps us strong
In the lessons of the lost
We find a brighter way
Understanding through the pain
The price we had to pay
Though we miss the things we had
Their meaning starts to show
In the journey of our hearts
The lessons help us grow
