INSPIRATION

Bright Lights! Loud noises!
Hurts my head. I hear you - but can't listen.
I see you - but can't look

You call for me - but I can't move.
I am alone in here
You think I'm lost in my world.
But I am here!


Below are the lyrics to a remarkable song. Click the button above to listen as you read them. I have left the introduction in the recording so you will hear that the song was written for children suffering from cerebral palsy, but I think perhaps that the lyrics might equally describe the mind of an autistic child.

I hope this song will touch you as it has me. I have had it in my collection for about 15 years. It was never recorded on an album, this is copied from a VHS tape of a live performance.

I'm in here, with a lonely light, but maybe you can see me.
Oh, and I'm in here, with my mind on fire.
Do your best and try to find me.

Under me, there's a lovely light that screams for a little daylight.
Oh, and through my eyes, I can see for sure
That my soul shines on. So try to find me.

`Cause I'm trapped in the web of a dark night.
Won't you please be my bridge into daylight?
When I know I am loved, I am all right.
So try to find me.
Try.

Try to find me.
`Cause I'm trapped in the web of a dark night.
Won't you please be my bridge into daylight?
When I know I am loved, I am all right.
So try to find me.

Oh, hear my heart. It's the same as yours,
But it beats with a distant thunder.
Oh and I'm still in here with my heart so pure.
I can say no more.
But won't you unlock my door,
And try to find me.
