(Gene Nelson / Craig Carothers) We came to a new world Tired of the old one Hungry for freedom And heavy with prayer It was a beautiful treasure Ours for the taking Never mind that someone Was already there Invisible people We were climbing in numbers In just a few generations Frontiers to conquer And fortunes to make So we hitched up our wagons And pushed ever onward Never a thought for What lay in our wake Invisible people We can't see their tears They still cry out But no one can hear Invisible people Hey, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay Hey, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay Shattered in spirit Promises broken Hunters and healers Now refugees Tell me who is the savage Who is the savior When a people are ravaged By hatred and greed Invisible people We come for the bargains With flags for the children Acres of parking Opening day But under the asphalt The pride of a nation Is buried forever In the home of the brave Invisible people We can't see their tears They still cry out But no one can hear Invisible people Hey, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay Hey, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay Hey, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay
