God's Stepchild

Gotta story for you

'bout a little friend

Never felt good enough

Had a heart to mend

Never felt pretty

Learned to just pretend

Wished someone had listened

For her silent cries of pain



Maybe I'm the lucky one

Maybe the forgotten one

Maybe but I know

I'm not God's stepchild



Didn't want to burden

Mother had enough distress

So often I'd talk to you

Through my four legged friends

Always there to listen

Though I felt so all alone

And in my times of trouble

I know you saw my smiles of pain



Maybe I'm the lucky one

Maybe the forgotten one

Maybe but I know

I'm not God's stepchild



Now that I much older

Gone through so much pain

I learned that I should love me

No more feeling ashamed

I've seen the great illusions

I've seen the rough terrain

I've walked through my own journey

And my love for you remains



Maybe I'm the lucky one

Maybe the forgotten one

Maybe but I know

I'm not God's stepchild



Maybe I'm the lucky one

Maybe the forgotten one

Maybe but I know

I'm not God's stepchild



I know I'm the lucky one

I know I'm a special one

I know that God does not have a stepchild
