In a Crowd

I stand alone in a room full of people. Can't you hear my crying? I stand apart from the crowd around me. Can't you hear my screaming? When they stand, I fall. Try to understand, I don't know anything, anything at all. Wander with me, and I am so lonely Do you feel me reaching? There is no lesson for you to learn Why am I still teaching? When they fight, I cower. Do not defend, hold on 'til the end. And the sun burns, the Earth turns... New days will bring more light, Chasing away the darkness of the night I am still here, I do still yearn... Forever in constant change My life has been rearranged... I stand alone in a crowd.
