lyrics

Those threads they wove in him
And tied up that day
The only threads that were there
Forget the ones that are missing
Can you hear the sound of siblings weeping?
Can you fear what you never will feel?

Those first years of his life
He lived out alone
He was such a happy child...

And then to school he went
The first time round his peers
Never knowing how to act
Or what to say
Can you hear the child asking questions?
Can you see his desperation to know?

Learning as he went
That wanting to know is different
Adulated by his teachers
And scorned by his peers
Did you hear a lonely boy weeping?
As he lived day by day in this strife?
