Like Cyndi Lauper/Ramones/ Madonna
I can't say a word but you're hurting me A silent cry can be heard indeed Maybe you could listen or just turn away Your excuse is to ignore me is I should speak up to say Chorus: It's not alright, I'm lost in the crowd I want to speak to you out loud Don't care if the whole world hears me Don't care if you want to be free Consider What's been happening for so long Consider Consider What's Going On A girl at church said she is on drugs I knew they'd only pray for what she does The pastor says call if you're in need But I never wanted the burden to be me You think this child is going through a phase BGV: She'll get over it Gotta talk to her before it's too late BGV: She won't get over it She's trying to speak, she's trying to tell You it's in shambles, all's not well Repeat Chorus Bridge: Well it's too later I'm sad for eternity But look around And save the one You KNOW is in need It's not alright, I'm lost in the crowd I want to speak to you out loud Don't care if the whole world hears me Don't care if you want to be free From guilt, from blame from feeling the same Consider What's been happening for so long Consider Consider What's Going On End: Consider Consider Consider Consider© 8/5/01 Allison McCulloch
