Invisible People

We came to a new world
Tired of the old one
Hungry for freedom
And heavy with prayer
It was a beautiful treasure
Ours for the taking
Never mind that someone
Was already there
Invisible people
We were climbing in numbers
In just a few generations
Frontiers to conquer
And fortunes to make
So we hitched up our wagons
And pushed ever onward
Never a thought for
What lay in our wake
Invisible people
We can’t see their tears
They still cry out
But no one can hear
Invisible people
Hey, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay
Hey, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay
Shattered in spirit
Promises broken
Hunters and healers
Now refugees
Tell me who is the savage
Who is the savior
When a people are ravaged
By hatred and greed
Invisible people
We come for the bargains
With flags for the children
Acres of parking
Opening day
But under the asphalt
The pride of a nation
Is buried forever
In the home of the brave
Invisible people
We can’t see their tears
They still cry out
But no one can hear
Invisible people
Hey, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay
Hey, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay
Hey, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay
