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
