The Ones

The Ones They don't talk about the ones No they don't speak, they never say Whose chairs have wheels instead of legs From twisted limbs, now blown away They never speak about the ones No they don't talk, they never say That shadows of proud men live on In shadows live the ones they are today The ones............the ones The ones who saw their own Brothers laid dead The ones who're now so lost inside their heads The ones............the ones They don't talk about the ones No they don't speak, they never say They keep them far away from sight To scream through dreams of yesterdays They never speak about the ones No they don't talk, they never say That shadows of proud men live on In shadows live the ones they are today The ones...........the ones They paid the price of sanity for them And live today trapped in their minds, condemned The ones...........the ones They don't talk about the ones No they don't speak, they never say Of men who struggle to sustain Their lives a mess, too much to pay They never speak about the ones No they don't talk, they never say That shadows of proud men live on In shadows live the ones they are today (Musical Bridge) The ones...........the ones How they deserve oh so much more from them They struggle on through nightmares once again The ones...........the ones Their silence hurts the most you see Yes silence hurts, they never say What happens to the ones who pay Who's fight lives on inside each day They never speak about the ones They never talk, no they don't say That shadows of proud men live on In shadows live the ones they are today The ones............the ones To all brave men who fought to keep them free Then paid the highest price for liberty The ones...........the ones The ones....
