God's Stepchild (Japanese Bonus Tracks) (The Velvet Rope) 1997
Gotta story for you 'Bout a little friend Never felt good enough Had a heart to mend Never felt pretty Learned to just pretend Wished someone had listened To her cries of pain
Maybe I'm the lucky one Maybe the forgotten one Maybe, but I know I'm not God's stepchild
Didn't want to burden Mother had enough stress So often I'd talk to you Through my four legged friends Always there to listen Though I felt so all alone And in my times of trouble I know You saw my smile of pain
Maybe I'm the lucky one Maybe the forgotten one Maybe, but I know I'm not God's stepchild Maybe I'm the lucky one Maybe the forgotten one Maybe, but I know I'm not God's stepchild
Now that I am older Gone through so much pain I learned that I should love me No more feeling ashamed I've seen the great illusions I've seen the rough terrain I've walked through my own journey And my love for you remains
Maybe I'm the lucky one Maybe the forgotten one Maybe, but I know I'm not God's stepchild Maybe I'm the lucky one Maybe the forgotten one Maybe, but I know I'm not God's stepchild
I know I'm the lucky one I know I'm a special one I know, that God does Not have a stepchild.
