Shimmering wings hum
Pure as morning glory blue
Traced upon the breeze

My friends all call
Me the latch key kid
Not my fault
Nothing I did

My parents say
They're always busy
That's okay, one day
They'll come to visit me

I often see
Them on the big screen
Mommy and Daddy
Hollywood's King and Queen

My parents write
Say that they love me
Still at night I often cry
Myself to sleep

They're taking life
And living the dream
While here I am
With my Nanny

She says she does
But does not understand
How much love
A child demands

The Tabloids say
That I am blessed
But their mistake
Is I'm really a mess

My parents write
Say that they love me
Still at night I often cry
Myself to sleep
