Long unforgotten memories of humiliation
Remaining still through adolescent years
And though the love for your neighbour stood unrequited
God was always the one you most feared
Sticks and stones never broke your bones
But the words, they struck with so much force
And though a Good Samaritan may never shed his tears
One day you couldn't take it anymore
There you were, on the bridge of the motorway
Impatient traffic, just another day
You took the leap in the hope that you would fly
Ascending from this world with its cruel ways
Long unforgotten memories of humiliation
Remaining still through adolescent years
And though the love for your neighbour stood unrequited
God was always the one you most feared
