Never Known

My mother was known for her sweet apple pie
My father was known for his suit and his tie
My brother was known for his green speckled eyes
But I was never known

My house was known for being at the end of the lane
Big picture windows with one broken pane
And a tire swing hanging from a rusty chain
But I was never known

I was never here in this world long enough
I came in and then I left here alone
I was a spark that never grew into a fire
I was never known

My history was known on the old family tree
The roots and the branches grew strong it grew free
And there were names there were dates
There was a place there for me
But I was never known

I was never here in this world long enough
I came in and then I left here alone
I was a spark that never grew into a fire
I was never known

I hope to pass through here the next time around
Stay a little longer take a breath touch the ground
Until then I'll be waiting in the big lost and found
I was never known
I was never known
I
