If a child falls and scrapes his knees,
You comfort him,
If a baby says his first words,
You congratulate him,
If an adult cries at his failure,
You encourage him,
If a teenager asks you about life and ***,
You answer him.

Then why is it that when I fall you walk by?
Why is it when I speak you're dismissing me?
Why is it when I fail you smile?
Why is it when I ask you questions you refuse to answer?

I feel alone,
I feel alone,
I feel scared,
I feel scared,
See my shadow.
See a window,
See a chance,
Take a glance,
Then run,
Run from the gun,
Run to the sun,
Run to the light,
The light will grow bright,
Keep trying,
It's in sight,
I'll be alright,
I'll be alright.
