He used to be somebody's baby

Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently

He used to be the light in someone's eyes

He used to matter, he used to matter

Someone cared if he lived or died

Someone held him in their arms - when he cried

And when he hurt, someone kept the world away

Someone loved him, someone loved him



He used to be somebody's baby

Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently

He used to be the light in someone's eyes

He used to matter, he used to matter

He used to matter



That was then, that was so long ago

Long before they came and took his soul

Long before he bacame invisible

That was when, he wasn't human garbage then



He used to be somebody's baby

Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently

He used to be the light in someone's eyes

He used to matter, he used to matter

He used to matter

He used to be somebody's baby
