Hey there lonely Won't you come and use me As a shield against those flying hands The hands that made those marks on your skin And i know you're wondering why it hurts so much To be afraid of every hand that you touch And i know that you feel like you ain't got your soul But now you know it wasn't your fault You're stronger than you know Hey there beautiful Little soldier marching on I know you've been missing home But that ain't where you belong now Well you be careful where your'e going now There's new beginnings or an easy way out And i know you thought that you couldn't hope for more But now they've come and found you here That's who that you've been waiting for Who am i now Fourteen years on and i have no conscience or feeling No reason for believing himself Or the ones that hold him dearly Cos i know what it's like to be beaten Within an inch of myself
