The Ballad
(album: Pennybridge Pioneers)
The last selection in the ballgame.
Does never get a pass.
"Not appreciated´s" just his first name.
He´s the scapegoat of the class.
There are no friends to cheer him up and
no girls, no sweet romance.
It´s impossible to expand,
when you never get a second chance.
Do you know, who´s that guy, who´s all alone?
Do you care enough to see? He´s in pain and misery.
He´s not going to the school-prom.
He said he had the flu.
Trumped-up excuses he told his mom.
-I´m safer here with you.
She told her son. -Someday, they´ll all be
sorry for mistreating you.
Don´t be afraid my son and trust me.
-You´ll be someone they will look up to.
Do you know, who´s that guy, who´s all alone?
Do you care enough to see?
He´s in pain and misery... Do you care enough to see?
Do you know, who´s that guy, who´s all alone?
Do you care enough to see? He´s in pain and misery.
