Bewildered


from the ABC set **The True Music Legends**

Jimmy was a befuddled little boy.
In a household of busy day to day work.
He was Eight years' old.
One of many kids, born into the dream.
(Of living)
Never the less it was a nightmare for him.
Just Thirteen and he was kicking rocks.
(Down the road)
A neglected young soul, abandoned and crushed.
No wonder in the potrait he was unable to blush.

(Chorus)
Bewildered little boy.
Walking in the valley.
Bruised and hurt.
Kicking those stones.
In the neglected dirt.

Bewildered, no guiding wisdom or leading hand.
Just Thirteen, no home nor food.
It must have been real hard to understand.
(No love, just wisdom about the tear gland)

So come on(Little Jimmy)
Look up to the sky.
Look up straight.
Glare into Gods' eye.
For love, he would.
Never, ever, ever deny.
So don't cry little boy.
It going to be alright.
Pray to God(Gives you a toy)
Then walk towards the light.
(Come on)

(Chorus)
Bewildered little boy.
Walking in the valley.
Bruised and hurt.
Kicking those stones.
In the neglected dirt.

Kicking rocks- leaving home on a everlasting road.

Nice one Pin, sad but with an element of hope in there somehow, at least that's how it read for me ;)

Sure is Sarah, keeps a person in such conditions that they motivate themselves to acheive what the world offers. The sky is the limit.
