We’re All Gonna Be There When She Dies
Words & music by Neal Fox
verse 1.
She was young – she was ready
And her future seemed so bright
But a long road she traveled
Nothing changes overnight
And her spirit, she’s forgotten
Burried deep within her lies
And we’re all gonna be there when she dies
2.
When she was young, she was freedom
There was justice on her mind
There was truth, there was beauty
There was hope for all mankind
Now her darkness is showing
And we should not act surprised
That we’re all gonna be there when she dies
bridge
But didn’t we all forsake her
And take her for common ground?
And didn’t we use the best she had
And take everything we found?
It’s a bad time to say it
And it hits between the eyes
But we’re all gonna be there when she dies
3.
And we look into the future
And forget about the past
We were young and we were foolish
Thought the things we had would last
But the dim light of freedom
Had the seeds of its demise
And we’re all gonna be there when she dies
(bridge)
4.
Now she’s lost in the jungle
Though she tries to carryon
And the wise may try to find her
And the fools won’t know she’s gone
And to those who sit and wonder
Why so few have heard the cries
We’re all gonna be there when she dies
bridge
But didn’t we all forsake her
And take her for common ground?
And didn’t we use the best she had
And take everything we found?
And it hurts me to say it
And it hits between the eyes
But we’re all gonna be there when she dies

I think he's singing about Lady Thatcher. I won't be there when she dies as I have a prior appointment. Good luck to the rest of you.

Dear Neal & Naomi, Wonderfully poignant! Tender effective well communicated vocal. Thank you for a fantastic song. I dare to add: "How many will truly wake up and open up their eyes, before it's time to pay the pauper, need I emphasize? We're All Gonna Be There When She Dies" Thanks for sharing. Best, Sherwood

A classic. Written with heart and compassion. This song came from a true artist, not a wanna-be.

A beautifully understated and articulate song form a songwriter at the top of his game. Neal combines the passion of youth with mature wisdom. Quietly stating his point makes it all the more powerful.

Raw truthful, hard hitting lyrics. Echos of early Dylan. Great job, Neil. For those who have not watched the video of this song, I highly recommend it: http://www.youtube.com/nealf

You rock Neal!!! LOVE this truthful song!

This song has a way of lingering on long after it has played... haunting & evocative. It's sad that we've gotten to this make-or-break point in History, with most people still ignoring the signs. Well this song is a big YOU ARE HERE sign. And as the last notes fade out we are left with the question, where do we go from here? It's up to each of us to decide, but most people will decide to DO SOMETHING after taking this song's message to heart.
— Liz Abbott
Great lyrics and a powerful message. It's up to all of us to protect our rights and make sure "she" survives for generations to come. Thanks for such a beautiful song.
— Nomi
That was grand and very touching

Hope enough people wake up and start taking action that she won't have to die. It's songs like this that help people wake up. Thanks, Neal.
