lyrics
When she was a little child,
They overlooked whatever she achieved.
Rarely, they remembered her name,
Only ever saw what they believed.
She danced she the dark etc.
No one seemed to see who he was,
No one seemed to give him any room (to be),
No one discovered his love,
So he hid away in the gloom
And he danced in the dark etc.
A world that couldn't recognise
What's in her heart and in her eyes,
Leaves no room for her.
The decisions that they take
And the assumptions that they make
Left no room for him.
