lyrics

she has a full-time job
and children to feed
she works real hard
but it doesn't meet the need
doesn't qualify for help
makes too much to be freed now she's
losing the battle she's starting to bleed

lost and forgotten
caught in the seam watching all her
efforts floating down stream on her knees
praying to forces unseen trying to
survive the American dream

he was young in his 20's
when the voices began to speak
his family had no idea all the havoc it would wreak
the little help that was given it was gone in a heartbeat
now his family bears the struggle to
keep him off the street

lost and forgotten
caught in the seam his new reality such an extreme
on their knees praying to
forces unseen trying to survive the
American dream

an old woman's hand where a young woman's
once laid
unaware of her condition she feels alone and afraid
her family has to sell everything just to get the bills paid
it' sad
it seems we've left our elders forgotten
and betrayed

another spirit broken
people losing hope
that our nation will not hang itself
given enough rope
on our knees praying to forces unseen
trying to survive the American dream

lost and forgotten
caught in the seam
watching all our hard work
floating downstream on our knees praying to
forces unseen
trying to survive the
American dream
