Six Hundred Thousand Lyrics

Six hundred thousand friends you never met

With faces and smiles you wouldn't forget

The six hundred thousand pairs of glimmering eyes

In the good and the bad times, the lows and the highs

The six hundred thousand ideas and songs

Their hidden solutions to righten our wrongs

The six hundred thousand things that you would have said

To the six hundred thousand friends that you never met

The six hundred thousand, like ghosts in our flesh

And six hundred thousand names, to never be said

And may we remember the memories lost

Too deep to uncover, too many for us

The six hundred thousand husbands and wives

Some would marry our children and brighten our lives

With six hundred thousand mixed stories of love

Of pain and of gladness, and all the above

The six hundred thousand we couldn't afford

With no kind of conflict, and absence of war

The cold and the lonely, the fierce unafraid

The wretched and holy, the people we made

Why did we grow up with the thought

That to save a life was so difficult

Oh the things I am capable of

As I realize that I was saved a long time ago

The six hundred thousand friends you never met

Oh I dare you to think about the ones we forget

The beautiful people who knock at the door

If we'll let them just come in, we might save them all

The six hundred thousand are haunting our dreams

They're speaking against us in front of the King

And may we be humbled, and seek on our face

His willing forgiveness, his unending grace
