Love Neglected - Critical Mass

Fast tracking it in his Mercedes Benz

He picks up the call on his cell phone

His wife says: «You gotta come home now,

I need to talk to you alone.»

He says: «I'd like to but I’m way to busy.»

Silence, then a voice says: «I'm dying!»

The words slow his life in and instant

He crumples broken and crying.

(It's sad!) It’s sad when a love neglected

(It's sad!) Comes sharply into focus.

(It's sad!) Only when the light is fading

(So sad!) And we’re grasping for hope in the darkness!

She was young and oh!

So beautiful.

All the cars would stop, so guys could see her…

Her bible’s tossed into a dresser

The rosary decorates the rear view mirror.

She sneaks out at night, she likes to party.

She tried to drive when she could barely see.

She was the apple of her father’s eye.

«Why!

Oh, why did she have to die?»

(It's sad!) It’s sad when a love neglected

(It's sad!) Comes sharply into focus.

(It's sad!) Only when the light is fading

(So sad!) And we’re grasping for hope in the darkness!

Don’t you see?

It could easily be me.

Who loses touch and neglects your love.

If we could relive choices

That have slipped right through our fingers…

God help us, show us today,

How to love along the way…

(It's sad!) It’s sad when a love neglected

(It's sad!) Comes sharply into focus.

(It's sad!) Only when the light is fading

(So sad!) And we’re grasping for hope in the darkness!
