Someone To Come Along Words and Music by Bill Pere Young girl, feeling sad, feeling misunderstood Finding out that being alone is no good Looking for someone who can share your rhyme, So you spend some time between the pages of a fantasy tale Where all the heroes don't know how to fail But when you flip that last page over And the book's back on the shelf, You're still standing by yourself Wondering what went wrong Looking for someone to come along... Young girl, wondering why it seems so hard to find a friend Someone who won't wait 'till you've stopped smiling and then Say they only like you with a smiling face, So you go running, crying to a place your fingers feel when the piano sings Hidden between the hammers and the strings But when when you look you find the music fades, it doesn't linger And when the last chord is dissolved The problem isn't solved You're still searching for a song Looking for someone to come along... It's hard when you've hung your dream upon a star In a world where people just don't see that far You feel left out, you don't know what to say... But you'll find that you're not the one who's left behind. You stand alone because it's you who leads the way... Young girl, wondering "Why is everybody throwing words around?" Wondering why they ring with such a hollow sound, Trying to get you to buy everything they say So you slip away, where you can run and ride all through your dreams Where things are plain and simple, so it seems But when you get that picture perfect And you open up your eyes, There's still clouds in the skies You're still feeling something strong Looking for someone to come along... It's hard, when everyone is going rushing by And you're taking time and asking why "Won't someone tell me please?" But you'll find that you're not the one who's really blind You stand alone 'cause you're the only one who sees... So just keep telling your own tales, Singing your own songs, Dreaming your own dreams, And someday, somewhere, someone will come along © Copyright Bill Pere,  All Rights Reserved
