I`m Down

<br>(Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)<br>Shook my head out of dreams <br>Reality`s calling <br>The early bird`s been up all morning <br>but I`ve got no notion of moving from where I am <br><br>Though my legs won`t move <br>I feel disabled <br>I`m on a shelf an article labeled <br>waiting for someone to fetch me from lost and found <br><br>I`m down No one to hear me calling <br>I`m down No one to see me falling <br>I`m down <br><br>Had my ways <br>with days of sunshine <br>Life came easy it all fell in line <br>But then again I didn`t realise <br><br>When you`re used to one thing <br>it`s hard to accept another <br>Like the woman who brought you up <br>well she ain`t your mother <br>How do you cope <br>with a thing like that <br><br>chorus <br><br>I always thought it was my dad who went to war <br>Thought it was my sister who fell off the wall <br>My pseudo-brother Billy emigrated long ago <br>Someone went through pain to have me <br>someone I should know <br><br>I`m down <br>I`m down <br><br>To the folks who brought me up <br>I`m not ungrateful <br>Kept the secret from me <br>they thought it was shameful <br>It hurt me so <br>to be the last one to know <br><br>Maybe someone`s out there <br>looking for me <br>Left on their own <br>couldn`t afford to clothe me <br>And I I don`t even know my real name <br><br>chorus <br><br>I`m down <br>I`m down <br>I`m down
