Story Behind The Song
Wasted Child
Written 6/21/1990
Copyright 2004 T & A Music Productions
I wrote this song in 1990. It was written about a dear friend who let drugs get the best of her. It?s a story you see all too often. She went off the beaten path and as always it was such a shame as she had so much promise?

Lyrics
Wasted Child
By Mike Tee
Copyright 2004
Look at you sitting there so weak, Its been 3 nights since you got some sleep
A party here and an all nighter there, cant you see you aint getting nowhere.
I want to take you to the other side, where nothing is so bad and theres plenty of pride,
But that?s your choice what else can I say, You know you may not have another day?
You?re a wasted child, wasted child, wasted child, wasted child
You?re a wasted child, wasted child, wasted child, wasted child
Everyday living I guess was too mild
In High school you were an all honors girl,
Went to college could of controlled your world
But like the man in the high wire act, just one false move and you?ll never come back
I want to take you to the other side, where nothing is so bad and there?s plenty of pride.
But that?s your choice what else can I say, you know you may not have another day?
