The Forgotten People

Six million people crying from the grave
Invisible people calling out their names
Beautiful people taken from their homes
Scattered people no where to go
And the mothers and fathers and the sons and daughters
They were carried away in trains
Their bodies are broken and beaten and burned
And their ashes fell down like rain

They were branded with a number and a yellow star
And paraded around in shame
They called it a crime to be born a jew
And in the name of god they were slain
Blessed people who tried to help
While evil people schemed among themselves
Everyday people who ignored the news

Indifferent people sitting in the pews

And the mother and fathers and the sons and daughters

They were carried away in trains
Their bodies are broken and beaten and burned
And their ashes fell down like rain

They were branded with a number and a yellow star
And paraded around in shame
They called it a crime to be born a jew

And in the name of god they were slain
The forgotten people (calling out)
Six million people (crying out)
The forgotten people (calling out)
The chosen people (crying out)
It's time to wake up from the pleasant sleep
Time to see our nakedness and begin to weep
Sound the alarm shouting "never again!"
Let a righteous revolution begin
History must never repeat itself
So lift your voices and take a stand
United as one for Zion's sake
Undivided as the nations rage
We've got to rise like an army in the name
Of the nation that was born in a day
The forgotten people (calling out)
Six million people (crying out)
The forgotten people (calling out)
The chosen people (crying out)
The forgotten people (calling out)
Six million people (crying out)
The forgotten people (calling out)
The chosen people (crying out)
Can you hear them crying out again?
