[Verse 1]

Got a 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

For her silent cries of pain


[Chorus]

Maybe I'm the lucky one

Maybe the forgotten one

Maybe, but I know

I'm not God's stepchild


[Verse 2]

Didn't want to burden

Mother had enough distress

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 smiles of pain


[Chorus]

Maybe I'm the lucky one

Maybe the forgotten one

Maybe, but I know

I'm not God's stepchild


[Verse 3]

Now that I'm much older

I've gone through so much pain

I learned that I should love me

No more feeling ashamed

I've seen the great illusions

I've sought the rough terrain

I'm walking my own journey

And my love for you remains


[Chorus]

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


[Outro]

I know I'm the lucky one

I know I'm a special one

I know that God does

Not have a stepchild
