Invisible Lyrics

Do you know her

Where did she come from

What's her story, they all have one

What about him, a string of bad luck

Or, nowhere to turn when hard times struck

An old rucksack from Vietnam holds all he owns

That old cart she's pushing, she calls her home

Living under bridges

Sleeping anywhere at night

Homeless, invisible; out of sight

Think about how each soul is bared, if we were to stop and stare into their eyes

Looking in from two sides of life

Would they see guilt, hate and blame

Would we see fear, despair and shame

We can't make them invisible by turning our back and closing our eyes

Was he a hero fighting for our lives

Was she a mother, a loving wife

Why was no one there to turn them around when their world turned upside down

Let's worry less about why they gave up and when

Then we do about who gave up on them

Leaving them under bridges

Sleeping anywhere at night

Homeless, invisible; out of sight

Think about how each soul is bared, if we were to stop and stare into their eyes

Looking in from two sides of life

Would they see guilt, hate and blame

Would we see fear, despair and shame

How many of us could really understand

To think about how each soul is bared, if we were to stop and stare into their eyes

Looking in from two sides of life

Would they see guilt, hate and blame

Would we see fear, despair and shame

Let's not make them invisible by turning our back and closing our eyes

No, they're not invisible

It's time to turn back and open our eyes
