Gone Not Forgotten

GONE NOT FORGOTTEN

Words and Music by Jim Allio

They said we deserve it
Said that's what you get
Put us all on Alcatraz
If they don't see us, they'll forget
That there were people here
Loved in a different way
But called it love anyway
Some of us are still here

Many gone, many gone
Many gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Many gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Many gone but not forgotten
But not forgotten

You said I could be somebody
You said I already was
Gave me space to chase my dreams
All for love, all for love
Then you ran wild and you got sick
Sat with you every day
I know I'll see you one fine day
I'm still here baby

Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
But not forgotten
You're not forgotten

(Spoken) Many died, some lived on
We marched and talked, rode and walked
Let our voices ring
From all that pain and death and fear
All the time as a volunteer
Came visibility and freedom and hey!

There's no malice in the palace
There's people getting married here

Many gone, many gone
Many gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Many gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Many gone, but not forgotten
They're not forgotten

(Spoken) For every season of grief and sorrow
When the hand of God seems heavy and unjust
New lessons are learned
New resources uncovered
And we grow

Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
But not forgotten
No, not forgotten
