Victim of Circumstance

	Sadly his mother watches helplessly, as her child demolishes the very fabric she believes in.
	Catching an occasional glimpse, she remembers with great pain, the anguish she felt, as the memories from her past re-appear.
	Frustration turns to confused anger.
	She still can't come to terms with the fact that her husband took his own life. "Why", she asks herself, "why didn't he tell me? Why couldn't anybody lend him a helping hand?"
	All the while her son is silently crying out for help. [Intro]
	Looking back in time,
	Without consent. two lovers ran away
	A tragic tale, so often made
	So sad and destined to fail [Verse]
	They're in and out of every place
	Searchin' hard a sad disgrace
	At best a darkened room, without a view
	Those memories, still remain
	Never once did she complain
	Now time repeats itself, all over again [Bridge]
	What he did, was insane
	Sadly his own life he'd take
	And you've been left to face the guilt, alone [Chorus]
	Just try to remember
	He was a victim of circumstance
	Close your eyes, try to recall
	The strength you felt
	Now, is the time to be stronger
	Than you've ever been before
	Bury all your anguish and fear, you're not to blame [Verse]
	Don't analyze, come to terms
	Face the truth, don't turn away
	Where there's a will, there has to be a way
	Into the world, your child came
	Responsibility or shame
	He backed away from you, don't lose him again [Ad-libs]
	You're not alone! you've got to be stronger
