Forgotten

They cry until they learn
Tears will not bring them relief
Over time their cries are stilled
As forgotten, they retreat

Their laughter is unheard of
Their smiles a rarity
Held captive in an orphanage
Imprisoned by concrete

Chorus:
Have they been forgotten
Will they ever know care
What about love and happiness
Will they ever be aware
That it exists
Or will they be forgotten

Bridge:
They don't know security
They don't know carefree
Their innocence died with their birth
Who will give them hope and love
Who will give them care and hugs
Will they someday know their lives have worth
Or will they be forgotten

Repeat Chorus
