Elegy - The Forgotten lyrics

[Music: Henk van der Laars & Dirk Bruinenberg]

[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
