Lonely Child - John Taylor

I don’t want you to be alone

Lonely child like me

Lonely child who trusts no one

And finds it hard to breathe

I know you are on your own

No brothers and sisters in your home

You are the only one

But you don’t have to be the lonely one

Like I was raised to be

Like I was raised to be

Like I was raised to be

You’re my perfection, My clean slate

My tabula rasa if you like

Oh but birthdays seem so long ago

Some days are hanging by a thread

You wouldn’t notice

You were meant to be

An angel playing in the dirt

In spite of all the hurt

Like I was raised to be

Like I was meant to be

Like I was made to be

Like I was meant to be

Like I was raised to be

Like I was meant to be

Like I was made to be

Like I was raised to be
