Verse One: A century ago, this kid sat alone He was so lost in society Never any mail, no calls on the phone He was the smallest minority Nothing he could do, nothing he could say Would ever earn him respect He sat alone, on every single day None of his words would effect The way he was treated, by his unknowing peers They were idiots, only he knew that Sitting at his home, his eyes filled with tears He thought of life, while he sat Chorus: How can it be, that others are so slow To realize what they have done Only this kid, would ever really know
Why he chose not to run So I must ask, what the hell is wrong With our tough society today Because, just like that kid, my life seems too long Troubles will never go away Verse 2: The lessons we are taught, are never the right ones We should learn to be kind Never, in our lives, will we have any fun True answers, we will never find For those very few, young adults with sense My thanks goes out to you You are the few, people who are not tense You help others feel renewed CHORUS X 2
