Calling Out

Lyrics

Calling Out In a doorway in the darkness Sits a young boy in despair He wishes he was invisible But no-one cares And some say he's just lazy He's been trouble all along And he'll get just what's coming End up where he belongs But he's calling out Yes he's calling out He doesn't understand What the anger's all about Calling out Yes he's calling out If only we could hear him now When he hears the chimes at midnight He's walking homeward slow It's not as if they'd miss him But he's nowhere else to go He knows if he can make it Into bed without a fight A safer place awaits him In his dreams at night But he's calling out Yes he's calling out He doesn't understand What the anger's all about Calling out Yes he's calling out If only we could hear him now In his dreams he can fly He's an eagle in the sky Nobody can tie him to the ground There's no pain, there's no tears And he's far away from here Everything is quiet for miles around In the morning with the daylight Comes another round of lies In the classroom he's withdrawn No-one's surprised And he's hiding his emotions And the bruises from last night He needs to hear it's not his fault And everything's alright But he's calling out Yes he's calling out He doesn't understand What the anger's all about Calling out Yes he's calling out If only we could hear him now
