The Shadowed Thoughts of Silas McBane episode #13

Secondhand Saints

Silas McBane

Here’s a ballad for the broken

The forgotten and the lost

A verse for the weary

And the lines that we cross

We’re a bit off the trend

Outside the lines

Maybe they think we’ve fallen

But we think we’re fine

We are the ones

We are secondhand saints

With a limp in our step we’re the same

Ever united

Yet strangely divided

We walk though we’re all a bit lame

Secondhand saints just the same

We pray in different places

We walk in different shoes

We love and we hate

We win and we lose

But there’s a common thread a-weavin’

We’re hand in hand

But we’re not forgotten

We’re just secondhand

We are the ones

We are secondhand saints

With a limp in our step we’re the same

Ever united

Yet strangely divided

We walk though we’re all a bit lame

Secondhand saint just the same
