I thought I would share this one with you all.

Fading Fast
V1
Have you ever seen me
a one arm Vet living in the streets
Have you ever said hi or hello
asking about my story's yet untold
knowing you'll just walk on by
never even say goodbye
V2
clothes found on the streets
ratted, matted with many stains
knowing I'm not seen as a Vet anymore
but as homeless on the streets
hungry and cold; it wasn't my defeat
Chr
like photographs withering away
our American war Vets, fading fast
forgetting us after all is done
for free-dom in the past
protected! by our Vets
V3
the paper you read today
will be my blanket keepin' me warm tonight
laying beneath it's black letters
half eat'en food
will later become my dinner
I can't ask for anything else anyway
V4
I did my best to protect us all
now drinking myself away
so who's fault is it when I fall
on the streets you walk down for free
maybe I wouldn't be living this way
if someone would just listen yesterday
Chr
like photographs withering away
our American war Vets are fading fast
forgetting us after all is done
for free-dom in the past
like photographs withering away
our American war Vets are fading fast
forgetting them after all is done
for free-dom in the past
protected! by our Vets
