Forgotten Voices Lyrics
Forgotten Voices
In a lonely corner of the city
In a barren world of brick and glass
A figure sleeps upon the sidewalk
In the shadow of a dreary street lamp
Lying on his tattered bed of cardboard
Newspaper blankets shield him from the bitter cold
In the chilly light of early morning
Sirens rouse him from his restless dreams
Makes his way down to the usual corner
Where the cafe sign in neon gleams
Puts a hand out to a passing stranger
Who only turns away pretending not to see
And in the end forgotten voices
Are drowning in the roaring of the stream
A river of uncertain choices
Where do they end up
All those broken dreams?
Who can know the path that this man travels?
Who can count the sorrows that he bears?
All the unknown ways a life unravels
And the road that lead to bitter tears?
Now he makes he way through the busy city
He is swallowed by the crowd and disappears
And in the end forgotten voices
Are drowning in the roaring of the stream
A river of uncertain choices
Where do they end up
All those broken dreams?
