Invisible People

We came in 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

Shattered in spirit

Promises broken

Hunters and healers

Now refugees

Tell me who is the savage

Who is the savior

When the people are ravaged

By hatred and greed

Invisible people

Now, 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

Though they still cry out

But no one can hear

Invisible people
