You May Think I'm Lost

 There's a small puppy sleeping,
 Under a chair
 Your poor human owners don't know you are there.
 They are calling and looking,
 Up streets and down wells,
 But you're sleeping too soundly to answer their yells!
 

        Cho:  "Oh you may think I'm lost, but that isn't the case!
                  You think I have vanished 'cause you can't see my face!
                   Oh you silly old humans! You may stop all your screaming!
                    You may think I'm lost, but I'm dreaming!!"

        There's a small child asleep
        In an old apple tree
        Her parents are calling her name anxiously
        She is visiting  planets,
        And dancing with light,
        But her parents are having a terrible fright!

        Cho:  "Oh you may think I'm lost, but that isn't the case
                  Do you  think I have vanished 'cause you can't see my face?
                   Oh you silly old grownups! You may stop all your screaming!
                    You may think I'm lost, but I'm dreaming!!"

        There's a young woman's father
        She sees when she can
        In a home where they still
        Dress him up like a man,
        When he drools and he whispers
        And can't use his hands
        She just raises her voice to make him understand.
 

 
              Cho:  "Oh you may think I'm lost, but that isn't the case!
                         Just 'cuz I stopped yapping through the hole in my face!
                         Oh you silly young woman! You may stop all your screaming!
                          You may think I'm lost, but I'm dreaming!!"

        There's a fool on the street
        Who offends passers-by
        They flinch from his old clothes
        And his wild rolling eyes
        And the Pastor walks past him,
        A-shaking his head
        At a lost soul he thinks he must give up for dead!
 

 
              Cho:  "Oh you may think I'm lost, but that isn't the case !
                        You think I have vanished 'cause I won't run your race.
                         Oh you silly old cleric, with your pastoral scheming!
                          You may think I'm lost, but I'm dreaming!!"
Regards,
