Song lyrics We'll be here when you're gone by Goo Goo Dolls

And through the fence I see a ghost
Of a place that used to breathe
You know it choked away the sun
But we still had food to eat

And now everyone is gone
To a place that won´t be home
Can they keep their family strong?
Will they make it on their own?

And we´ll be standing when you´re gone
And we´ll be heard again
We missed our chance but not for long
I know somehow we will hold on we´ll be here
When you´re gone

Then one day we realized
That they couldn´t hear our voice
And it´s so hard to understand
When it´s caught up in the noise

But the ones who fight and die
Are the truth inside the lie
Now it´s all built on our backs
And we struggle to survive

And we´ll be standing when you´re gone
And we´ll be heard again
We missed our chance but not for long
I know somehow we will hold on we´ll be here
When you´re gone
