Bryon Blackburn - Forgotten Homeland Lyrics

The sky is weepin', rivers overflow
Fields turnin' barren where the corn used to grow
Homes are torn asunder by a windswept blow
Yet our leaders turn blind when it's our pain we show

Neighbors holdin' hands, tryin' to stay afloat
Raised our flag together, now we're on a broken boat
Families lost their houses, stand in line for hope
While help's sent overseas and we struggle to cope

Forgotten homeland, left out in the rain
We cry for help in a land that knows our name
Aid's bestowed on strangers while we face the flame
Forgotten homeland, it's a cryin' shame

Pride in our people, though struggles take a toll
Patchin' up our wounds, tryin' to mend each soul
Voices left unheard while the storms control
Leaders look away, hearts growin' cold as coal

Hands reachin' out, buildin' shelter for the night
We face the daily battles, pray for morning light
Promises go broken, speech as hollow as night
Forgotten homeland's caught in a constant fight

Forgotten homeland, left out in the rain
We cry for help in a land that knows our name
Aid's bestowed on strangers while we face the flame
Forgotten homeland, it's a cryin' shame
