Spare a Thought

Spare a thought for the people that care When we need them, Always there Spare a thought for the soldier blue In a far off place, protecting you Spare a thought for the old and frail In a home, their house for sale Spare a thought for the immigrant too He only wants the same as you Spare a thought for the child in care A single parent, close to despair Spare a thought for the battered wife Trapped in a marriage of trouble and strife Spare a thought for those who are ill Who need an operation or prescription pill Spare a thought for those without work Lost their job, and called a shirk Spare a thought for you and me That we see the light and give to thee
