Everywhere I look I see people loving and living
Filling their lives with joy and sorrows, pain and triumphs
Here one falls in love; there one loses hope
Never do their lives entangle mine
Always I drift in the shadows, watching, waiting, and wondering
I feel as if I'm standing behind a glass wall
A barrier between the world and myself
Desperately I press against the glass, beating on it
Wanting, needing someone to hear my cries
Knowing that no one ever will
I see but flickers as they pass me by
Traveling on as they live and love
Never looking my way as I stand there
Forever to exist within the walls of this glass cage
