Analysis of Lonely Child
Mitch Hagen 1992 (Vancouver)
It's desolate in this lonely life,
It's dark where there is light.
Trying to find someone to love,
But just can't win the fight.
Listen to my soul for truth,
Get deafened by people's blatant lies.
I've lost myself amid my shame,
Can't someone just hear my cries.
Just me myself and only I,
Turn to rust, wait to die.
I pray one day someone See's,
This lonely child that hides inside.
