Story behind the song

This song came out of discussions my sister and I had in the beginning of our healing journey with incest. We shared our memories, the images and experiences, the way we felt and our hopes for the future and commitment to our children, born and yet to come.

Lyrics

Forgotten Child
2004 DreamSinger


Forgotten child who lives in fear
Threat of danger always near
Sound of footsteps in the night
A darkened door outlined in light
Pretending sleep, it never works
A hundred sheets won’t hide the hurt
There is no place for you to hide
Another wound another night

In the morning with the rising of the sun
Memories are buried to forget what had been done…
On the run…
You’re not forgotten child, I sing for you
No, not forgotten child - you’re in everything I do

Forgotten child who lives in fear
Reach out your hand for love is near
Make that wish upon a start
Then tell another who you are
You’ve got to try no matter what
Sometimes once is not enough
I understand the pain in you
Because, precious one, I’ve been there too

But there will come a morning with the rising of the sun
When you find that you are free and you know that you have won
It will come

You’re not forgotten child, I sing for you
Not forgotten, child - you’re in everything I do
No, not forgotten child - not until I get to you
