Shook my head out of dreams
Reality´s calling
The early bird´s been up all morning
But I´ve got no notion of moving from where I am

Though my legs won´t move
I feel disabled
I´m on a shelf an article labeled
Waiting for someone to fetch me from lost and found

I´m down No one to hear me calling
I´m down No one to see me falling
I´m down

Had my ways
With days of sunshine
Life came easy it all fell in line
But then again I didn´t realise

When you´re used to one thing
It´s hard to accept another
Like the woman who brought you up
Well she ain´t your mother
How do you cope
With a thing like that

I´m down No one to hear me calling
I´m down No one to see me falling
I´m down

I always thought it was my dad who went to war
Thought it was my sister who fell off the wall
My pseudo-brother Billy emigrated long ago
Someone went through pain to have me
Someone I should know

I´m down
I´m down

To the folks who brought me up
I´m not ungrateful
Kept the secret from me
They thought it was shameful
It hurt me so
To be the last one to know

Maybe someone´s out there
Looking for me
Left on their own
Couldn´t afford to clothe me
And I I don´t even know my real name

I´m down No one to hear me calling
I´m down No one to see me falling
I´m down

I´m down
I´m down
I´m down
