Life Goes On

LIFE GOES ON, OR SO IT'S SAID,
FORGOTTEN PEOPLE, WHO AREN'T DEAD.
IN A JAIL, HOSPITAL OR DIRTY ALLEY-WAY,
PEOPLE FORGOTTEN, AS THEY STRUGGLE FROM DAY TO DAY.
ONCE WE KNEW THEM, WE CALLED THEM "FRIEND,"
NOW IT'S ALL OVER, OR SO WE PRETEND...
PEOPLE FORGOTTEN, AS THEY STRUGGLE FORM DAY TO DAY.
WE TURN OUR HEADS, WE LOOK AWAY,
THE PROBLEMS HERE, THE PROBLEMS THERE,
FORGOTTEN PEOPLE, PEOPLE EVERYWHERE!
PRISONERS, THE SICK, THE LAME AND LAZY...
VIETNAM VETERANS, SOME SAY THEY'RE CRAZY!
LIFE GOES ON, OR SO IT'S SAID,
FORGOTTEN PEOPLE, WHO AREN'T DEAD.
TO MANY PEOPLE, IT DOESN'T MATTER,
THEY EAT, THEY DRINK, THEY JUST GET FATTER,
THEN WASTE TIME, ON USELESS CHATTER.
LIFE GOES ON, FOR ALL THE OTHERS,
FORGOTTEN CHILDREN, OF FORGOTTEN MOTHERS.
FAITH, HOPE AND SIMPLE CHARITY,
OH SUCH NOW, OH, WHAT A RARITY.
LIFE GOES ON, OR SO IT'S SAID,
FORGOTTEN PEOPLE, WHO AREN'T DEAD.
LIFE GOES ON, OR SO IT'S SAID...
