the forgotten people lyrics
[verse 1]
six million people crying from the grave
invisible people calling out their names
beautiful people taken from their homes
scattered people nowhere to go

and the mothers and fathers and the sons and daughters
they were carried away in trains
their bodies were 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

[verse 2]
blessed people who tried to help
while evil people schemed among themselves
everyday people who ignored the news
oh, indifferent people sitting in the pews

and the mother and fathers and the sons and daughters
they were carried away in trains
their bodies were 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
[chorus]
the forgotten people (calling out, calling out, calling out)
six million people (crying out, crying out, crying out)
the forgotten people (calling out, calling out, calling out)
the chosen people (crying out, crying out, crying out)

[verse 3]
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 the 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
for the nation that was born in a day

[chorus]
the forgotten people (calling out, calling out, calling out)
six million people (crying out, crying out, crying out)
the forgotten people (calling out, calling out, calling out)
the chosen people (crying out, crying out, crying out)

[interlude]
[chorus]
the forgotten people (calling out, calling out, calling out)
six million people (crying out, crying out, crying out)
the forgotten people (calling out, calling out, calling out)
the chosen people (crying out, crying out, crying out)

[outro]
can you hear them crying out again?
