THE INVISIBLE ONES

Nancy is standing up on the stage
Giving her all tonight
Singing her songs of passion and rage
Her dreams are buring so bright
A crowd of ten are all on their phones
But she doesn't care it's alright
With faith in her heart
Sh'es as real as they come
And she will hold onto the light

We are the invisible ones
The ones you fail to see
At the edge of the limelight
Hanging onto a dream

Joey pulls over into the layby
Parks his old van on the verge
Lays out his wares on frosty grass
And puts a brew on the stove
Sculptures in wood so skillfully carved
Character, earthy and wild
He doesn't sell much but he's king of the road
And makes enough to get by

We are the invisible ones
The ones you fail to see
In the shadows of limelight
Hanging onto a dream

Emma stands by the gallery door
Nervously counting the time
She's planned so long for her private view
She's laid out the food and the wine
She pulled out the stops let everyone know
This is is the best work of her life
But a cold Tuesday night in February
Only a few a will arrive

We are the invisible ones
The ones you fail to see
In the shadows of limelight
Hanging onto a dream

Hanging on
Hanging on
Hanging on
Hanging on
Hanging on
Hanging on
Hanging on  
On to a dream
Hanging on to a dream
