Lyrics

LOST THEIR WAY ( LIVING IN POVERTY )

© Lyrics by Rizo Balic

VERSE [ONE]
IN EVERY PART OF THEIR BODIES,
THERE'S FEAR AT ITS PEAK,
DRIVING THEM TO DESPAIR,
ON DARK STORMY NIGHT,
ALL SHAKING LIKE A LEAF,
THEY'RE CLINGING FOR THEIR LIVES.


VERSE [TWO]
KNOWING THERE'S NO WAY BACK,
FRIGHTEN THEY'RE LOOKING SILENTLY,
AT EACH OTHER FOR A WHILE,
CONFIDENTLY NODDING THEIR HEADS,
WITH SHY SMILE ON THEIR FACES,
THEY START WALKING AGAIN.


VERSE [THREE]
THEY KNOW THEY CAN'T STOP NOW,
THEY'VE TO CARRY ON REGARDLESS,
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO THEM,
THEY KNEW THEY'VE TO SUCCEED,
FOR THE SAKE OF THEIR CHILDREN,
LEFT BEHIND ALL IN TEARS.


VERSE [FOUR]
THEY'RE FIRMLY HOLDING HANDS,
SLOWLY MOVING TOWARDS THE OTHER END,
LOOKING TO FIND SAFE SHELTTER,
TO TAKE SHORT BREATHER,
FOR THEIR EXHAUSTED LEGS,
AFTER WALKING MANY MILES WITHOUT REST.


BRIDGE:
WHEN YOU'RE LIVING IN POVERTY,
LIFE IT'S CONSTANT MISERY,


CHORUS:
IT'S VERY HARD TO BREAK FREE,
WHEN YOU'RE STACK AT THE BOTTOM,
AND EVERYONE WASHES THE HANDS OF YOU,
AS IF YOU'RE SOME KIND OF DISEASE.
YOU'RE LEFT ON YOUR OWN,
TO GET BETTER OR VANISH FOR GOOD.


VERSE [FIVE]
THEY COULDN'T STAND IT ANY LONGER,
WATCHING THEIR CHILDREN STARVING,
EVERYTIME WHEN THERE'S A FAMINE,
THEY KNEW THEY'VE TO DO SOMETHING,
THEY CAN'T WAIT FOR A HANDOUTS,
BECAUSE THEY'RE LIVING IN POVERTY.


VERSE [SIX]
LIFE IS NEVER ENDING STRUGGLE,
WHEN YOU'VE TO DEPEND ON OTHERS,
EVEN IF IT'S AGAINST YOUR PRINCIPLES,
WHEN YOU'RE STACK IN POVERTY,
IT'S SO HARD TO COPE KNOWING,
EVERYBODY IS GIVING UP ON YOU.


VERSE [SEVEN]
THEY DON'T WANT TO BE REMEMBERED,
AS ANOTHER NUMBER IN THE BOOKS,
A REGION WITH A HUGE DEATH RATE,
WHERE THEY BELONGS SINCE THEIR BIRTH,
THEY KNEW THEY'VE TO STOP,
LIVING IN POVERTY ONCE AND FOR ALL.


VERSE [EIGHT]
AFTER THEY'LL EARN ENOUGH MONEY,
THEIR CHILDREN WILL HAVE AN EASY LIFE,
AFTER ALL THEY'VE TO GO TROUGH,
THEY'RE HOLDING ALL THEIR HOPES,
FOR A SAFE RETURN HOME,
ONE DAY SOON IN A NEAR FUTURE.
