Just one in six billion

 

As the world spins And our feet stay on the ground How many other broken-hearted lonely souls Live life in limbo As me Lost in a sea of misery The pain makes tears fall An empty bed No valentines No love notes Shared sunrise But we see the sun go down Every night No butterfly kisses Tenderness or care No welcoming warm arms No eyes to lose yourself in And see them smile At you And say I love you No one to hold your hand No one to listen No one who understands The Unloved Child Inside a Man No one to care No one to share The love songs Tell lies The rom coms Conceived fantasies Six Billion people in the world Many women and girls And you can't even get one Missed the boat Kills you a little more each day And only a good Woman or Girl Can take it away Heal the wounds and sores From the ravages of onesided wars What's the point of clinging on When there's nowhere to cling on to And hope is nothing but a slippery slope And you can't cope You display your colours But no one takes no notice They are blind Not exploring your heart And mind Time travels on But your life stands still Flowers never bloom Birds don't sing And the rain never stops The world still spins around With you Or without you Life goes on.
