This may be as close as this gets to finished, so I figured I'd go ahead and post it here.
All music and vocals by Roel VanVeldt
Lyrics by me
One-in-a-Million
V1
Silent to all the world
She just wants to cry out loud
An isle of misery
In the seas of a hostile crowd
V2
Trying to find the shore
Swimming against the tide
No lighthouse to guide her in
And clouds block the moonlight...
Chorus
She's adrift in the crowd
With no sail, as she wails,"LOOK AT ME-ee"
Just to feel recognized
But the size of the crowd doesn't cease
She finds herself lost
in humanity...
V3
From sidewalk to sidewalk
She feels so fenced in
Another sardine
pressed in to the tin
V4
There is no room to breathe
In a sea of clones
She's one in a million
Yet she stands alone
Chorus
She's adrift in the crowd
With no sail, as she wails,"LOOK AT ME-ee"
Just to feel recognized
But the size of the crowd doesn't cease
She finds herself lost
in humanity...
Bridge
She thinks back to her younger days
When her life was serene
And wonders how she got so lost
In a rat-race, fighting for cheese...
There is no time to dream and no room to breathe
Chorus
She's adrift in the crowd
With no sail, as she wails,"LOOK AT ME-ee"
Just to feel recognized
But the size of the crowd doesn't cease
She finds herself lost
in humanity...
She's one in a million

Nice one John....nice arrangement/instrumentation too. Another of your "lonely lost soul" characters...is she Penelope's sister?
For a moment I thought it was you singing, then I looked at the credits again.

Geez Andy - that gives me an idea for an album titled Penelope. ^-^ This song does follow along that pattern.
Roel wants to replace sections of this with real instruments, so maybe one of these days he might drop by. :)

Nice melody. Somethings lacking though. ??? Maybe I'm just not used to hearing no guitars. Maybe some backing vocals?
