I sit here in silence Quietly by myself I've been put away, discarded Put back on the shelf To the land of dust and toys Where everything is worn But all the little girls and boys Where have they all gone? For all that I'm surrounded by Is a ghost-land, there's no noise But I am not alone here I'm surrounded by the toys Toys that have been broken And don't work anymore But I still have both arms and legs What am I here for? Where's the special little girl That used to play with me Why am I not in her room? Where on earth is she? She couldn't sleep without me She would hold me tight I can't protect her if I'm here This does not feel right She's put me here in clutter When I was her best friend I cannot yell, I have no voice Will this be the end? Why has she thrown me away With all her broken toys Now I'm just another rag doll Who cannot make a noise I have a wound, deep in my heart What am I to be? Will I sit here forever? Or will someone notice me?
