Lyrics
Pain Of The Memory
Just a child all alone. I don't remember coming home.
Sent to a land that never wanted me. Just a child all alone.
Don't ask questions anymore. Never knew what I was fighting for.
I hang my head down and turn away. Just a child all alone.
What has become of me. Am I just to blind to see.
I stare at the world with the pain of the memory.
What has become of me.
Never asked for any ones hand. As you can see this boy is a man.
Go to the wall to see my friends. Just a man all alone.
What has become of me. Am I just to blind to see.
I stare at the world with the pain of the memory.
What has become of me.
And the world don't know how I feel. My pain is all I own.
And the world can't the things I've seen. I'm a man all alone.
