The child got left behind
It was the wrong era
The wrong time
The child got left behind
And he knew it too
When he stared out the window
He would see the neighborhood
As the kids would play
And the teens would laugh
While the adults would party
As the child grew
He got left behind
And he knew it too
But he didn't complain
For it was temporary
And that's what the madness was
It was all temporary
