Sometimes I feel so insignificant
so useless, so unimportant.
I am certainly Nobody's Hero,
never to be one to be looked up to
never to stand out in a crowd.
I will never be Somebody.
I am destined to stand in Periphy
And They will never ever write songs about me.
Sometimes I get a glimpse beyond;
a glimpse, a fragile glimpse
of parted curtain, thinning veil.
What is it I see beyond the beyond?
Cannot tell if it's really me;
clouded view of what could be,
fear pulls the shade, no longer free,
And They will never ever write songs about me.
At times I am uncomfortable
when I look upon myself.
Who do I think I am
to dream I can be different?
So I continue to live in shadow
hovering between fear and wanna be.
I know that no one will ever see,
Knowing too, They will never write songs about me.
To know I have a purpose
in the Greater Scheme of Life,
to decide to make my stand,
to know I have a choice.
I am One who lives in both worlds,
I guess it's my destiny
Living in the Periphery
Is why They will never write songs about me.
Out of the well of darkness
of heartache and dispair,
comes words to release the pain, the grief
and it's these I wish to share.
Fame and Fortune care not for me.
Open heart, open hand for all to see.
Letting everyone know it's okay with me
That They will never ever write songs about me.
