Lyrics
i hear the clock ticking in the dark
finishing its countdown to the end of the night
and the door to my bedroom is slightly ajar
allowing bits and pieces of the moon into my room
i've come so far
but still so far to go
and only i know the journey that i've made
and only i know the journey
that i've yet to take
well i'm almost out of time
at the end of my rope
and all i really want is to really want is to restore a little hope
and of all the people and all the places that i've ever been
she was the only one i cared to see again
the words we spoke weigh heavy on my mind
and only i know the journey that i've made
and only i know the journey
that i've yet to take
give me a little hope in the dreams of the little man
a little hope when it seems there is no more
a little hope in the lives of the forgotten
oh but baby don't forget me
i'm one of them
one of the forgotten
well i finally recognized what i've been lookin for
and it wasn't what i thought it was
it was so much more than i bargained for
and in the depths of my despair i came to realize what i lost
a love that i once knew became the remnants of this cross
the cross we bear when we wait just a little too long
and only i know the journey that i've made
and only i know the journey
that i've yet to take
give me a little hope in the dreams of the little man
a little hope when it seems there is no more
a little hope in the lives of the forgotten
oh but baby don't forget me
i'm one of them
one of the forgotten
