She's got a smile on for the schoolyard run
Clothes pressed neat though the money's gone
Last night they slept where the car light fades
A roof of stars through the cracked windscreen haze
Invisible people
You don't see her but she's there
Invisible beyond your stare
Out of sight out of mind
No cardboard sign to read the lines
She's got a roof but not a home
Lost in places she's never known
He parks where the suburbs begin
Fitting his life in a box he lives in
Neighbor's walk past no one asks
They only see what the garden masks
Invisible people
You don't see him but he's there
Invisible beyond your stare
Out of sight out of mind
No cardboard sign to read the lines
He's got a roof but not a home
Lost in places he's never known
She's just a child with a child of her own
The hospital bed feels colder alone
Her parents said
You're not our shame
Now she's a mother with no one to name
Invisible people
You don't see her but she's there
Invisible beyond your stare
Out of sight out of mind
No cardboard sign to read the lines
She's got a roof but not a home
Lost in places she's never known
They packed his bags on his eighteenth year
Said
You're grown now there's no room here
The payments stopped so did the care
Now he's chasing shelter in the midnight air
Invisible people
You don't see him but he's there
Invisible beyond your stare
Out of sight, out of mind
No cardboard sign to read the lines
She's got a roof but not a home
Lost in places he's never known
Not every home has a welcome mat
Not every struggle's where your eyes are at
Age colour or the cash you've got
None of it matters when you've lost the lot
We build fences we lock our gates
While some just pray to keep their faith
Invisible people
Invisible but not gone
Each face a story each night too long
If you looked beyond you'd find
Many lives left undefined
Invisible
Invisible
