[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
