Fading Away

Another song with no music.

FADING AWAY

He's hungry and cold and he sits here alone in a dirty alleyway
People pass by and they wonder why he let himself get this way
He sits all alone cause he has no home so he sits here and passes his day
He's an old vet who isn't done yet but he's sitting here fading away

Cause old soldiers never die they just fade away
Old soldiers never die they just fade away
And he's an old soldier who hasn't died yet he's just sitting here fading away



He put in his time, it should be a crime how his life's left to ruin and decay
We owe him much more than ever before now it's past time that he be repaid.
He fought for our freedom and that's not all that he's done, he faced all our threats unafraid
It's time to repay him and say thank you to him and keep him from fading away.



Cause
old soldiers never die they just fade away
Old soldiers never die they just fade away
And he's an old soldier who hasn't died yet he's just sitting here fading away

She's somebody's mother just  alike many others who's missed by her children each day

But she answered the call and gave it her all when we called her she said she'd obey

If you chance to meet her, take time to go greet her,find out why she's living this way.
We must take a stand, do all that we can don't let her life just fade away.

Cause
old soldiers never die they just fade away
Old soldiers never die they just fade away
They're just old soldiers who haven't died yet they're just sitting here fading away
