Lyrics
[Flut Intro]
[Verse 1]
In a small town by the rolling green Where life's a simple, quiet dream The people work from dawn till dusk With hands of iron, hearts of trust But in the halls of power, far away The rich men laugh and make their play Decisions made without a care For folks like us, who breathe the air
[Chorus]
We're the forgotten voices, left behind In a world that's cold and so unkind They make their deals, we pay the price While they feast, we sacrifice
[Verse 2]
The promises, they made so grand Are scattered like the shifting sand They build their castles, high and grand While we toil upon this land They speak of change, of brighter days But it’s just words, a fleeting praise For when the votes are counted high They disappear into the sky
[Chorus]
We're the forgotten voices, left behind In a world that's cold and so unkind They make their deals, we pay the price While they feast, we sacrifice
[Bridge]
And in the tavern late at night We share our sorrows by the light Of candles burning, faces worn By dreams that died, and hearts that mourn Yet still we rise with morning sun To face the day, though battles won Are few and far between the years We carry on despite the tears
[Instrumental Solo]
[Chorus]
We're the forgotten voices, left behind In a world that's cold and so unkind They make their deals, we pay the price While they feast, we sacrifice
[Outro] So raise a glass to those like us Whose stories fade to silent dust For though we're small, our hearts are true In every breath, in all we doWe are the forgotten, but we stand tall In unity, we'll heed the call For one day soon, the tide will turn And from our fires, they will learn
