Before The Wave - Forgot About Me Lyrics

Mamma sang to make a life, my Pa he loved his pretty wife
She played in bars they wanted more, burnt whisky pools upon the floor
They'd left behind a poorer home, and all that they had ever known
No welcome from the promised land, no family or a guiding hand
Always felt a broken home, at night I'm all alone, they forgot about me
Always felt a broken home, at night I'm all alone, they forgot about me
One night my Ma she sat and cried, and felt me kicking deep inside
On stage is where I want to be, adored local celebrity
This child might take that all away, it wasn't supposed to be this way
Won't give it up without a fight, I want to see my name in lights
Always felt a broken home, at night I'm all alone, they forgot about me
Always felt a broken home, at night I'm all alone, they forgot about me
My Pa he gambled every day, threw it all away, they forgot about me
My Ma she never cared for me, or held me tenderly, they forgot about me
Grew to be an angry man, alcohol in hand, they forgot about me
I walked the streets alone at night, just looking for a fight, they forgot about me
Met a girl who made me whole, loved me heart and soul, they forgot about me
Helped me love myself in time, said my tears were fine, they forgot about me
We're parents now and thankfully, made a family, they forgot about me
My kids they make me smile each day, let go of yesterday
