Description of Submission: "It is a song about someone who is gay and struggling to be heard." - Alana

Why Karen and Melody Liked It: Alana has a beautiful voice.  It was nicely accompanied with guitar in the background.  The words were very expressive in the struggles of dealing with parents.  The song was done very professionally.

Lyrics to Lost

I wasn't sent to this earth to do nothing
But on the hand I don't know what I was sent here for
Why can't you just accept that I don't know what I'm doing yet
And really what's more

Is what if I don't do what you want me to do what happens than
And what if I don't say what you want me to say what happens next
And what if I don't play those games you're playing with me are you just going to walk away
And what if I don't become who you want me to be are you still gonna listen to me.
Oh are you still gonna listen to me

I may not have the best relationship with my family
And I may not be the best person that you'll ever met
But one thing I want you to know is that I try hard throughout it all
And really I'm jsut worried

I what if I don't do what you want me to do what happens than
And what if I don't say what you want me to say what happens next
And what if I don't play those games you're playing with me are you just going to walk away
And what if I don't become who you want me to be are you still gonna listen to me
Oh are you still gonna listen to me

It's such as shame that I can't prove who I really am what I can do
Why can't I seem to show you

That what if I don't do what you want me to do what happens than
And what if I don't say what you want me to say what happens next
And what if I don't play those games you're playing with me are you just going to walk away
And what if I don't become who you want me to be are you still gonna listen to me
Oh please listen to me
