INVISIBLE Copyright (c) 2006 Eric Severson Sound clips licensed for commercial use through Audiosparx Am G Do you recognize him? He is your brother Am G Lost his job and now he, can’t find another Am G The plants have all shut down, all his money’s gone F G Am No friends around, no place to go. Am G Do you recognize her? She is your sister Am G Husband never came back home, didn’t seem to miss her Am G Three young kids to raise, a single mother F G Am Lost her home, no place to go. (CHORUS) C G We’re the forgotten ones, we live right next to you Am F We are the nameless faces, who walk the same streets you do C G We reach out our hands, you just look right through us Am F As if we were not here, as if you never knew us Dm G As if your schedule was too full, G Am And so we stay… invisible. Am G Do you recognize us? Do we make you nervous? Am G We are humans just like you, we can be of service Am G We are white, and we are black, we are young and old G Am And we are hungry, we are cold. Am G Do you recognize me? Can you see your own face? Am G You could be me in a different time, a different place Am G Do you think that what I’m telling you is true? G Am Do you believe I could be you? (BRIDGE) F G Am G Am Just like ghosts we walk alone, as if for sins we must atone G Am G Am In a world that could be kind, but out of sight is out of mind F G Am F You hurry on your way, no time for us today F G Am And so we stay… invisible. (INTERLUDE) Am G Am G Am G F G Am (CHORUS) C G We’re the forgotten ones, we live right next to you Am F We are the nameless faces, who walk the same streets you do C G We reach out our hands, you just look right through us Am F As if we were not here, as if you never knew us Dm G As if your schedule was too full, F G Am And so we stay… invisible. F G Am And so we stay… invisible.
