Half Alive and Half Forgotten (The Veteran’s Song)

Half alive and half forgotten
Great men and women who fought to save this land
Half alive and half forgotten
Now in pain and degradation on every hand

We asked them to give up their youth and dreams
Just to fight an enemy with evil schemes
We asked them to give up their families
For a country they believed in, they volunteered just to please

Now they're abandoned and just fighting for existance
Handout food stamps that just barely makе ends meet
And still we expеct theses heros to be thankful
For those crumbs we throw their way when we pass them on the street

Half alive and half forgotten
Men and women who fought to save this land
Half alive and almost forgotten
They're in VA Farms, in pain on every hand

They only wanted to come home and start over
And forget their painful loss and memories
They only wanted respect in their futures
For a job well done and the time they gave to please

No, it's not too late, why leave them stranded?
Our loving hearts have reached around the world
No more half alive and half forgotten
When we see our veterans struggle and when we see our flag unfurl

Half alive and sometimes forgotten
Men and ladies who fought to save this land (Precious land)
Half alive and almost forgotten
Right now it's time to show them where we stand
Now's the time to reach and take their hand
