B Nobody Hears

Nobody hears

Why is it that through all my living years

I've been screaming for help

But nobody hears?

I cry for warmth and the strength to go on

I yearn for the light where the sun once shone

I need for a scarf to pull up round my ears

I scream and I shout

But nobody hears

I've sat in this alleyway for ten whole days

And watched people go on about their ways

All the busy people with busy careers

I cry out to them to help me

But nobody hears

I can't remember my past, it's been too long

I've given up on trying I'm no longer strong

I've been asking directions home for years

But nobody ever hears

Why is it that the world can just pass you by?

And no-one looks up and looks fate in the eye

I shout to people to enjoy their last years

But nobody hears

I've tried my best to get them to care

I've been sat down here and they're out there

I know how to stop all of their tears

But nobody ever hears

If I'm the one with the answer, who'll ever know

I'm just a poor girl with no life to show

I've been trying to tell them for so many years

Why is it that nobody ever hears?
