she won't recover from her losses
she's not chosen this path
but she watches who it crosses
maybe move to the right
maybe move to the left
so we can all see her pain she wears
like a banner on her chest
and we all say it's sad
and we think it's a shame
and she's called to our attention

th our happiness
and busy with our plans
