Doing my bit to get attentioned to abandoned children around the world. Many of them end up being child slaves!
Stan loves music, is published (EMI/Capitol), and has experience performing on radio and TV when it was live in the good old days. These days he's just writing
Songwriter of pop, country, inspirational songs. I like to write. I travel a lot to Asia...so my music may have an Asian influence.
Story behind the song
My collaborator is Thierry Santacana from France. He did the beautiful backing! He didn't have a lot to work with from me. I did a one-take live recording of the song with my guitar.

Abandoned Child
© January 31, 2014 Stan Loh
Verse 1
G GMaj7
Oh abandoned child,
G6 G
Never been loved,
B7 Em
No one has ever touched or carried him,
B7
Oh once in a while,
Em B7
I’m like that child,
Em
Never ever felt that deep love,
A7
Or near enough,
G Em
Oh I wanna get lost in that forest,
G Em
With no trails or paths to no where,
C Cm G
No love, no beautiful love, no love.
Verse 2
G GMaj7
Many will die,
G6 G
Their world is lonely,
B7 Em
They only get your pity,
B7
That’s all you wanna do,
Em B7
Give away your old shoes,
B7 Em
And in your shallow minded view,
C Cm G
You throw some dimes, your foolish mind, divides.
Bridge
Bm
Oh stop being chicken,
Bm
You’ll never end up licking,
B7 Em
The end of a chicken bone,
Bm
So get up and wake up,
Bm
And peel off your fake-up
B7 Em
No damage done if you’re kind,
C Cm G
I will remind, you just be kind, be kind,
Verse 3
G GMaj7
He lives in a hell,
G6 G
You do not know,
B7 Em
But the way you live, you hope they won’t bother you,
B7
This you wanna do,
Em B7
Climb in your hole and chew,
B7 Em
And in your shallow minded view,
C Cm G
You throw some dimes, your foolish mind, divides.
