I wrote a song for the forgotten
Who are there but no one sees
They lie in the shadows and the alleys
Never will they be free
I write a song for all the lonely
They never seem to fit in.
All the days of restless spirits
Waiting just around the bend
Don't let the world break your spirit,
Don't let the world get you down.
We can make this place so much better
If we gather round.
Listen close and you may hear them
Letting out a silent cry
There is anguish and resentment
It will last until they die
Nothing ever seems to help them
And the world doesn't care
They fade into the masses
Void of hope with vacant stares
Don't let the world break your spirit,
Don't let the world get you down.
We can make this place so much better
If we gather round.
Look close and you may see them
And the world doesn't care anymore
All that's needed is compassion
Love and little more
Take the time to care for others
And you may find your true heart
Life is far too short to waste it
Join us now to make the start
Don't let the world break your spirit (no)
Don't let the world get you down
We can make this place so much better
If we all get together before they drown
(Yes, before they drown)
