Nevertheless

People laugh as we walk by They cannot see the tears I cry Why must it be this way ? All the hate ? Nevertheless I am in love with you People smile as I walk by I am famous I have succeeded in life, I have everything I ever wanted Nevertheless I feel alone and I want to die, no one told me the road to fame would be traveled alone People walk by and they cannot see that I am hurting despartly Why can't anyone give a helping hand ? Why must it be that we hide our heads in the sand ? Nevertheless I am still homeless and alone won't you stand up and help ? People salute me as I go by - yet they don't hear the babies that cry I am a soldier home from the fight Then why do I wake up in sweat every night ? I did my duty I did my part I see the men I lost and it breaks my heart Nevertheless, the PTSD carries on - and all I hear is the bugle song People look down upon me and my child We aren't diseased, we aren't wild Just because we are alone, why can't anyone pick up the phone I am the single mother just trying to live Nevertheless, I fight for my kid. People walk by and they stare at my bruise - what good does that do I ask you ? Why can't my neighbors see that my parents are crazy ? Why does everyone have to be lazy ? I don't think I can go on with this for long Nevertheless I am the abused child begging you to hear my song I am the child who is dying from disease The people all cry for me - my parents aren't pleased Nevertheless we still don't have a cure Please find one - and stop all the death I am the guy who can't find a job I have a family - I won't live for very long Nevertheless I am still unemployed By now I thought I would be joyed People keep walking by all these things - trying hard not to see them Trying to be relieved Somone else will help them that is the thought Nevertheless these souls are still lost Never judge what you cannot see Help them, the people must help them The world is beginning to change Nevertheless- things are still the same
