the shadows were waiting
for the corner boy
to tell them a story
and play silent games
corner boy, no one’s home
corner boy, you’re alone
corner boy, friends don’t stay
corner boy, go and play
morning brings dreams of play
with children his own age
corner boy doesn’t belong
in a world he feels as wrong
corner boy, no one’s home
corner boy, you’re alone
corner boy, friends don’t stay
corner boy, go and play
