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In the classroom he's withdrawn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
