Forgotten

Sitting alone in the dark once again
No light from above or life from within
Brothers and strangers have all walked away
Valued by none, in this place I will stay

Have you forgotten me my God?
Is this the end of the line?
Days turn to nights, and the nights last so long
Can't remember sunshine
Or the sparrows sweet song

People will laugh
And people will dance
But in this cell my life will not last
Living in fear of dying alone
I see nothing bright and God only knows
I'm forgotten

Maybe someday, maybe somewhere
A child will see, a man will hear
My story of faith, a story of loss
But in this life
Never forgotten

My family has forgotten me, this life they threw away
A slave of men, I'll say no one should be treated that way

Deceived by darkness in this place I've tasted and I've seen
Emotions no one knows, is this the turn I see in front of me?

So many times you have answered me and shown me such great things
Blessed with wealth of life, you never left, never abandoned me

In troubled times I would fade away, forgetting all you've done
But you are God till the end of time, to you I will run

Oh my God ill sing it out
I'll raise my arms and say
No, you'll never go, you'll never go away
