Verse 1
Child alone
Away by his family thrown
Favorite born
Before them
In their shadow
Reaching for love
Just never shown
The only childhood
Ever known
If only they knew
If only he knew
What he would do
Chorus
Legend born
To a family
That all it did
Was harm
If only they knew
If only he did too
How much the world
Would look to him for a hero
Oh so warm
Verse 2
A name for himself
In the band that he started
Even he never guessed
It would have gone so far
With a world
Looking up to all of them
Relating on levels never imagined
The love he never knew
Thanks to his fans
Has more than shined through
Started off as a nothing
Will be forever remembered as
More than everything
Long Live Richard
The hero we never knew
We needed
Chorus
