Missing Persons (Alive Forever) - Radio Edit
Baby is torn from her mother's arms
The child that was born to be protected from harm
A river of tears and an ocean of pain
In the briefest of moments, the whole world is changed
A friend that you knew that fell on hard times
A voice on the phone that got lost between lines
Who slipped in a dark place and fell through the cracks
Got caught in a bad space and couldn't get back
Missing persons, worlds apart
Missing persons, alive in our hearts
Sickness that comes like a thief in the night
The courage to rage 'gainst the dying of the light
The stifling blame we can't express
The numbing shame of our helplessness
Missing persons, worlds apart
Missing persons, alive in your heart
Here as long as we remember
Missing persons, alive forever
The passage of time that we read every day
The face in the paper who's just passed away
Music is played for the hero that's gone
Newspapers fade but the memories live on and on
Missing persons, worlds apart
Missing persons, alive in our heart
Here as long as we remember
Missing persons, alive forever
The child that was born to be protected from harm
A river of tears and an ocean of pain
In the briefest of moments, the whole world is changed
A friend that you knew that fell on hard times
A voice on the phone that got lost between lines
Who slipped in a dark place and fell through the cracks
Got caught in a bad space and couldn't get back
Missing persons, worlds apart
Missing persons, alive in our hearts
Sickness that comes like a thief in the night
The courage to rage 'gainst the dying of the light
The stifling blame we can't express
The numbing shame of our helplessness
Missing persons, worlds apart
Missing persons, alive in your heart
Here as long as we remember
Missing persons, alive forever
The passage of time that we read every day
The face in the paper who's just passed away
Music is played for the hero that's gone
Newspapers fade but the memories live on and on
Missing persons, worlds apart
Missing persons, alive in our heart
Here as long as we remember
Missing persons, alive forever
