Have You Seen Me?

The relentless junk mail that sometimes comes in with a missing child’s face actually gives it value. And so the song goes…

SONG LYRICS

my name is Angela
and I’m seventeen years old
named for an angel who brought me that long ago
but my wings have long since broken
over things still left unspoken
when my father took to drinking
and my mother gave up thinking
and since then…

CHORUS
Have you seen me?
in a picture on the wall…
do you miss me?
in the silence when you call my name
oh I know I can’t forget you
and I know the world won’t let you
forget me…
have you seen me at all…?

my name is Anthony
and I’m this many fingers old
I don’t know right from wrong I never do what I am told
and I wandered off with another boy
to play with some other toys
they found him in tears that day
but for me it’s three years in May
and I’d say…

CHORUS

I am in your every thought and every dream
I am everywhere you look have you seen… me?

CHORUS
