[Lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry]
|
|
Ignored and hated by many, he can't stand the very sight of himself.
|
Believing only that people wish him harm,
|
while all the time there is a sympathetic eye from an admiring lady.
|
As the years pass, she slowly gains his trust,
|
but not without incident.
|
Being of a passive and loving nature,
|
she helps to transform his anger with regression.
|
Eventually his fears are changed into a positive belief
|
in the goodness we all possess.
|
|
[Verse]
|
Ignored by the many, adored by the chosen few
|
Friends he hasn't any, just his own point of view
|
|
[Bridge]
|
There stands a lady inbetween the shadows
|
Waiting patiently for you
|
Holding out her hand she whispers
|
Together we'll pull through
|
She transforms his anger
|
Helps him wipe away the tears
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I'll be there, standing next to you
|
I'll be there I will pray, I will pray for you
|
'Cos you're one of the forgotten children
|
|
[Outro]
|
One of the, one of those forgotten children
|
One of the forgotten friends
|
Cast away those sins forgiven
|
Fight on, fight on to the end
|
You've gotta fight on
|
