Victim Of Circumstance
Words & Music by
S. Lecole and S. Stedman



You were there, so was I,
Everybody heard the cry
Lost love misunderstood,
Pressured out of childhood

A victim of circumstance,
Without a prayer and left to chance
Handed down to faithless fools,
Who never knew the way…

And we were all alone,
Caught in a hurricane
It was a senseless, mindless world
Where nothing stayed the same
Yes we were all alone,
The victims of circumstance
Nobody understood or even gave us
half a chance…

Life is hard and times are tough,
Paying dues I’ve lost enough
I’m better now that things have changed,
I’ll never be the same

A victim of circumstance,
The organ grinds and paid to dance
Whittled down among the fools,
Who never knew the way…

And we were all alone,
Caught in a hurricane
It was a senseless, mindless world
Where nothing stayed the same
Yes we were all alone,
The victims of circumstance
Nobody understood or even gave us
Half a chance…

Here I stand alone today,
Thank God I found the way
Who was bad? who is good?
I was a victim of childhood

A victim of circumstance,
Without a prayer, without a chance
Handed down to face the fools,
I had to find a way…
