They have gasped upon us
We've given them hope, pain and lust
The only ones who we've given them trust
Have thrown us away, have swept us like dust
Yet when they've gone away, the preacher will sing
"No more pain and sorrow, they shall bring!"

They are so gaunt and skinny, forgetful and trustworthy though
Some are women, some are children who've lost their toes
He runs with a smile, that's not in denial
And brings the elderly to a scattered pile
He feeds them and keeps them clean
Washes their hair and scrubs their feet
For once they smile, they are finally free
Because of them, their lives are complete
