Lyrics
Pass Me By
Hello Father Can you tell me where I've been.
Hello Mother Can you tell me where the wind has blown me
Hello Sister Can you guide me on this road
Hello Brother Can you help me with this heavy load
CH: All the people pass me by
And they don't extend a hand
Hello Friend Can't you see me anymore
I'm right before you I've been standing here so very long
CH: All the people pass me by
And they don't extend a hand
Wanna shout it to the world
Why don't you lend a hand
BRIDGE:
I'm just a child Living in a hungry world
My face is pressed against the glass
I can see what I can't have
And I wanna be like you
I'll work hard to make it true
Won't you help me
Here I am You can't throw me away
I've got so much to give I know I'll make you proud one day
CH: And all the people pass me by
And they won't extend a hand
All the promises you made
Why don't you lend a hand
For all the children that have cried
Won't you lend a hand
Still the people pass me by
And they won't extend a hand
