Missing Persons (Alive Forever) [Radio Edit]

Baby is torn from her mother's arms

The child that was born to be protected from harm

A river of tears and an ocean of pain

In the briefest of moments, the whole world is changed

A friend that you knew that fell on hard times

A voice on the phone that got lost between lines

Who slipped in a dark place and fell through the cracks

Got caught in a bad space and couldn't get back

Missing persons, worlds apart

Missing persons, alive in our hearts

Sickness that comes like a thief in the night

The courage to rage 'gainst the dying of the light

The stifling blame we can't express

The numbing shame of our helplessness

Missing persons, worlds apart

Missing persons, alive in your heart

Here as long as we remember

Missing persons, alive forever

The passage of time that we read every day

The face in the paper who's just passed away

Music is played for the hero that's gone

Newspapers fade but the memories live on and on

Missing persons, worlds apart

Missing persons, alive in our heart

Here as long as we remember

Missing persons, alive forever
