lyrics
(verse 1)
I've got a story now
One that you never will hear
I've got a light to shine
That you can't see over there
But you don't want to know
You keep on passing me by
And your true colors show
I see that look in your eye
(pre-chorus)
I am me, I am you
I am many known by few
Seldom seen, seldom cared
Seldom mentioned in your prayers
Outfit outdated
Birthday never celebrated
I'm the one that you ignore
I'm the least and I'm the poor
(chorus)
Oh what a shame,
Standing in the shadows
Cause I don't have a name
But you can't see we're all the same
Someone shine the light on my way (yeah)
Wasn't a choice
Standing in the shadows
Cause I don't have a voice
But you can't hear above the noise
Someone shine the light on my way (yeah)
(verse 2)
Now to the average man,
You may just think of me less
And to the richest man,
A tax deduction at best
And to the government
I'm just a check on the first
Or just a soul to save,
project for the local church
(pre-chorus)
I am me, I am you
I am many known by few
I'm the one that's calling out
Can anybody hear me now?
Do you care who I am?
Will you ever understand?
I'm the one that you ignore
I'm the least and I'm the poor
(bridge)
See I'm the nameless
Yeah, I'm the loveless
And I'm the voiceless, fatherless and motherless
I'm the defenseless
Helpless and the hopeless
I am every one of us (I am every one of us)...
I've got a story now
One that you never will hear
I've got a light to shine
That you can't see over there
But you don't want to know
You keep on passing me by
And your true colors show
I see that look in your eye
(pre-chorus)
I am me, I am you
I am many known by few
Seldom seen, seldom cared
Seldom mentioned in your prayers
Outfit outdated
Birthday never celebrated
I'm the one that you ignore
I'm the least and I'm the poor
(chorus)
Oh what a shame,
Standing in the shadows
Cause I don't have a name
But you can't see we're all the same
Someone shine the light on my way (yeah)
Wasn't a choice
Standing in the shadows
Cause I don't have a voice
But you can't hear above the noise
Someone shine the light on my way (yeah)
(verse 2)
Now to the average man,
You may just think of me less
And to the richest man,
A tax deduction at best
And to the government
I'm just a check on the first
Or just a soul to save,

(pre-chorus)
I am me, I am you
I am many known by few
I'm the one that's calling out

Yeah, I'm the loveless
And I'm the voiceless, fatherless and motherless
I'm the defenseless
Helpless and the hopeless
