The Ones

They don't talk about the ones
No they don't speak, they never say
They don't talk about the ones Of men who struggle to sustain
No they don't speak, they never say Their lives a mess, too much to pay
Whose chairs have wheels They never speak about the ones
instead of legs No they don't talk, they never say
From twisted limbs, now blown away That shadows of proud men live on
They never speak about the ones In shadows live
No they don't talk, they never say the ones they are today
That shadows of proud men live on
In shadows live (Musical Bridge)
the ones they are today
The ones...........the ones
The ones............the ones How they deserve
The ones who saw oh so much more from them
their own Brothers laid dead They struggle on
The ones who're now through nightmares once again
so lost inside their heads The ones...........the ones
The ones............the ones
Their silence hurts the most you see
They don't talk about the ones Yes silence hurts, they never say
No they don't speak, they never say What happens to the ones who pay
They keep them far away from sight Who's fight lives on inside each day
To scream through dreams They never speak about the ones
of yesterdays They never talk, no they don't say
They never speak about the ones That shadows of proud men live on
No they don't talk, they never say In shadows live
That shadows of proud men live on The ones they are today
In shadows live
the ones they are today The ones............the ones
To all brave men
The ones...........the ones who fought to keep them free
They paid the price of sanity for them Then paid the highest price for liberty
And live today The ones...........the ones
Trapped in their minds, condemned
The ones...........the ones The ones....
