Sister, Mother, Wife
Me, evermoving
 Fickle, like fate
 I am a proponant
 I change with the age
 
 I love this country
 But it's freedoms arn't true
 I've loved and I've lost
 I am not understood
 
 The hospitals say
 I must pay for my life
 Conservative values,
 They leave me with strife
 
 She was not poor
 Yet not very rich
 Still she couldn't pay
 When she got very sick
 
 They tried to save her,
 They really did
 But she couldn't stop dying 
 When her body was rid
 
 Now she is dead
 Her family full of woe
 Still they must pay
 For the sickness was sowed
 
 The bills piled up
 The money drained away
 But what they wished most
 Is that she could have stayed
 
 Now her husband's alone
 He may lose the house
 He can't feed his children
 As the debt pushes them out
 
 One day they may be homeless
 That day that they fear
 To live in the streets
 With all they hold dear
 
 They lost more than a mother,
 A sister, a wife
 They lost all hope and comfort;
 They may lose their lives
 
 Even if healthcare
 Could not save her life
 They'd think not about money
 But a sister, a mother, a wife
