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
