a old woman with withered an' faded
memories of yesterday
watching the world go by
waiting for a hello from anyone
the old man on the park bench cold an alone
feeding pigeons just to pass away the time
trying his best not to think about the losses he's
accumulated over the years
the girl bound broken and silent
her innocents given in trust only to be deceived
an' ostracized
the boy who gave unconditionally
only to be cast aside
families broken
the children cry
love is hiding in a world gone mad
devotion is hidden
waiting to be found again
