"On the Inside Looking Out"
I'm on the inside
looking out
Watching all the people
wonder about
I call out their names
and try to talk
But they just continue
to walk and walk
I tap on the glass
that I'm being kept in
Hoping someone will hear me
and want a new friend
Alone in my silence
I'm bound to live
No one around
with love to give
The tears that I shed
send me adrift
Floating around
in these tears of mist
When will the day come
that I'm set free
That I can have a voice
and just be me
No more living life
on the inside looking out
No more feeling sadness
and so full of doubt
