They said it was right
It was wrong to stay
So they boarded the bus and it carried them away
How I wish to see your face, but you stay away in your hiding place
For so long
Who could have known
You’d never be the same
But look at you now
Look back on where you came
You’re the shining light at the end of the day
Always
Heart aching, it’s heart breaking
A child on his own only dreams of home
Heart aching, it’s heart breaking
No more lost children on their own
Everybody knew, but no one said a word
Just bottled it up and held it close to the hurt
I wonder how you made it through so far away from all you knew
But you did and you go on
I didn’t want to ask, too afraid to hear the truth
Knowing all your pain
What would that prove
To me you’ll always be the 8th Wonder
