Like A Leper

Like A Leper
By Paul McCann

High society say

“Look at him ,
the poor guy , he will never be right “

How low can they go .
Even a leper has a heart .
Can you hold me tight ?

Just walk away and leave me like a leper .
I can find somewhere to hide .
Some sanctuary where flowers don’t grow ,
and no one will see the tears I’ve cried .

Maybe some day when the soil has been toiled
and heaven is near , you’ll find me .

Don’t treat me like a leper there .
Just see me as I am and be happy .

I have found a sanctuary where the world can go away and leave me like a leper until the dawn comes and the sun will shine again for me .
