 | When I needed to talk, you didn't have time!
You had other problems more important than mine!
When I felt all alone and I reached out to you,
You had places to go, more important things to do!I tried to get your attention!
I needed to know that you cared!
I guess you didn't notice that I was so scared!
I needed your help to decide what to do.
You said, "I'll find time for you later."
I guess that wasn't true!
What should I have done to have earned some of your time?
I tried to be patient while standing in line!
I needed your opinion on the right and the wrong.
On which path to follow, I had the need to belong!
Whenever I failed that always got your attention!
But the good that I did you never did mention.
I've paid a high price for what should have been free!
The price for your attention has cost my future for the fee!
We shared the same house but we never knew each other.
REMEMBER ME---I'M YOUR KID
YOU WERE MY FATHER AND MOTHER!!
