The Lost and Found - Original Song - Ft. AndyF - Cure Alzheimer's Disease

Music video for the Alzheimer's Association to help find a cure for this disease.

--Inspirations--

In the beginning stages of Alzheimer's Disease my mother participated in a study to help find a cure. She proudly said she wanted to do her part! She did not want her children, grandchildren or anyone for that matter to get this unforgiving disease. I imagine my mother (with Alzheimer's) as an Angel, rather a one wing Angel that cannot fly. She deserves to fly, as does anyone that has lost or will lose something so precious and dear as their memories.

I was the Director for the Union Rescue Mission's Thrift Store which was a Shelter for the Homeless. I never knew I could love a job so much! It felt so good inside to help others. A long story, short - - As I had spoke with the Alzheimer's Association a few years ago about starting a Thrift Store with the proceeds going to the Alzheimer's Association to help find a cure. I want to call this store "The Lost and Found" - (is the meaning to the lyric; "Build it and they will come")

If you think this is a good or even a bad idea please leave a comment. I hope to be speaking with the Alzheimer's Association again about my ideas to help find a cure for this disease.

Feeling the past few years I've rather reached the end of my rope, so-to-say. So I want to also thank the wonderful people here on YouTube for their more than inspiring videos, friendships and kindness. Merry Christmas, Carol Sue :)

Bless your hearts and preserve your minds. Love, Carol Sue

~LYRICS~
"The Lost and Found"

So much the mind has to remember
which way to go and who is who
Sadly each and every memory
doesn't find it's way through
The merry-go-round

In this space full of hope and dream
where silence is hearing sound
all the fragments of a broken thought
are seeing blindness all around

Life's a merry-go-round to the lost and found

Build it and they will come
Wish it and it will be
Help put the puzzle together
and find a cure for this disease

Life's a merry-go-round
Life's a merry-go-round
Life is a merry-go-round
To the lost and found

If I could fly on a wing of a one wing angel
If I could hold the magic wand to understand the fabel

Life's a merry-go-round to the lost and found

If I could fly on a wing
If I could fly on a wing
If I could fly on a wing of a one wing angel
Life's a merry-go-round, it's a merry-go-round
it's a merry-go-round to the lost and found.

Build it and they will come
Wish it and it will be...

Wonderful, emotional as always. Like the scenes you put together, like the burning candle, the angels and at the end, the sad doll and the smiling one. You're so good!

My mom has Alzheimer's. My heart is broken! Thank you for this beautiful video!

[AnDieMusik]

My grandpa was diagnosed with Alzheimer's about ten years ago. I didn't know of this until about four years ago. I was my grandpa's little angel. He was my hero. I used to sit on his lap and we would watch the old Shirley Temple movies together. I even started running around yelling, "Grandfather! Grandfather!", to which he would yell back, "Heidi! Heidi!" What I wouldn't give to have that back again.. He doesn't even talk now.. Just stares into space. Help find a cure.. Pray. Please.. Someone..

Great Song!

[dmio2]

dementia causes such a peculiar type of grieving. Such a sad affliction. Soulful song.... very cool.
