Back when I was just a boy I tried to make some friends But everyone ignored me Just alone in the end A lonely little soldier Just playing by myself Always on the other side Just left there on the shelf I want to play ball... ........... I want to play cars... ........... Just like the others But they just see scars Burns from the fire That left me alone I just want a friend I can call my own I still got a family But they are not like friends They look at me with sad eyes It's like they can't pretend I know that they still love me Sometimes I see them cry But I just feel so lonely Watching kids pass me by I want to play ball... ........... I want to play cars... ........... Just like the others But they just see scars Burns from the fire That left me alone I just want a friend I can call my own Why won't they come play with me Why are they all so mean I want to go to heaven So I can be clean Maybe God will be my friend He might let me stay Cause momma says in heaven God can take the scars away I want to play ball... ........... I want to play cars... ........... Just like the others But they just see scars Burns from the fire That left me alone I just want a friend I can call my own Maybe God wants me He might be my friend.. [Spoken softly] Please I just want a friend
