The old tend to say,
That we're the ones to blame.
The Forgotten Generation.

I ask,
How can we be blamed,
When they themselves made the choices?

None of us had yet the voices to raise!
So how can they claim,
That we are to blame?

For the first time in American history,
We may not make the climb.
Our futures may get worse,
Not as in the past.

Stuck in a moving stream,
We have no ideals to last.
We have no original thoughts to think!
And yet,
We continue to be expected to Rise,
To Dream.

Maybe we'll look at life with a wink.
Maybe we do beat the challenge from the
    past.
Maybe The Forgotten becomes The
    Remembered.
Who knows?
