“Alien Child” is my 29th song in a songwriting challenge series I call “52 Songs In 52 Weeks.” I started “Alien Child” on my iPhone using Garageband and finished it up in Pro Tools.

Alien child
Alien child
Alien child
Alien child

Chorus
Alien child
You always felt like an
Alien child
Adults they all treated you like an
Alien child
Lost in America
Alien child

Alien child
Alien child
Alien child
Alien child

In the heartland
Feel so plastic
Looking for a life fantastic

Trying to get off this rock somehow
Since they dropped you
From above the clouds

Won’t be left behind this time
Don’t know what they had in mind
But you’re changing the gameplan

Chorus
Alien child
You always felt like an
Alien child
Adults they all treated you like an
Alien child
Lost in America
Alien child

Solo

Chorus
Alien child
You always felt like an
Alien child
Adults they all treated you like an
Alien child
Lost in America
Alien child

Solo

Alien child
Alien child
Alien child
Alien child
