The Lyrics
'Forgotten Friend'
I'm your forgotten friend I'm your passing thought I'm the one you couldn't keep Though you thought you could I'm the missing link I'm your family time I'm the broken past Way down the line
So I pass the hours Look to the gate Who comes for me this day? Who will turn my fate? Who needs a friend? My loyal love? Where loneliness ends There is God above
Now I have food to eat And a place to stay And those I meet Don't turn me away But I need to know I will always be Right by your side Won't you care for me?
I'm a forgotten friend I'm a lonely boy The one you bought Like a childhood toy I'm the cheeky girl Who grew up too tall I'm the cherished one You forgot to call
I'm the furniture You replace with wear In the shadows now You don't know I'm there I'm the chosen one You chose to give up I'm a big boy now Not a tiny pup I'm the waste of space The messy mutt The vets bill walking And I'm down on my luck
Won't you spare a thought For the ones like me The ones who can't talk Who will forever be A number in the pound Cast out but never homeward bound A forgotten friend Yours in loyalty, in friendship To the end, to the end
I'm your forgotten friend I'm your passing thought I'm the one you couldn't keep Though you thought you could I'm the missing link I'm your family time I'm the broken past Way down the line...
I'm your forgotten friend.
"A special friend, Maria Daines, a well-known singer in Britain and fellow animal advocate, and her husband were kind enough to write this song especially for our group. It speaks in leaps and bounds of what our group is about and the 'forgotten friends' we try to help. We wish to send a BIG THANK YOU to Maria Daines and Paul Killington for their beautiful work!"
