Disposable in the Wind. ISRC-CB-GWT-26-00230

[Verse 1 – Male: Department Head] I took the slip in trembling hands, The moment twenty-five years were gone. All the dreams I carried through the years Passed before my eyes before the dawn. Every project, every long night, Every promise that we made— Termination after termination, All the things we built just fade. [Pre-Chorus – Male, Female joins softly] F: We thought we had a place to stand, F: We thought tomorrow would remain. F: But somewhere high above our heads, F: A merger called our names. [Chorus – Both] Both: We are disposable in the wind, Blown away like leaves in autumn rain. Twenty-five years can disappear With a signature and a name. M: We are disposable in the wind, F: Nothing left for us to hold. Both: When the company turns the page, Even dreams can be sold. [Verse 2 – Female: The Group] F: The next morning came too soon, One by one they heard the news. The whole group stood there silent, With nothing left to choose. A pack of slips, a simple line, A future turned to yesterday. The team we built would crumble down, And no one knew what to say. [Pre-Chorus – Female, Male joins softly] M: We thought the years would count for something, F: We thought the work would make us strong. M: But when the merger filled the air, M: We knew we didn't belong. [Chorus – Both, fuller harmony] Both: We are disposable in the wind, Blown away like leaves in autumn rain. Twenty-five years can disappear With a signature and a name. M: We are disposable in the wind, M: Nothing left for us to hold. Both: When the company turns the page, Even dreams can be sold. [Bridge – Male, intimate] M: Oh, oh... Nothing left to hang on to. Nothing lasts forever. The sunshine slowly slips away, Like a promise lost in weather. [Bridge – Female, answering] F: All the patents, all the years, All the battles we have won— Could not buy another morning, Could not stop what had begun. [Final Chorus – Both, full harmony] Both: We are disposable in the wind, But the wind can't take our lives. It can scatter what we built, But it cannot take our pride. M: We are disposable in the wind, M: So it's time to say goodbye. M: The company may close the door, F: But we'll find another sky. [Outro – Male and Female, softly alternating] M: Disposable in the wind... F: Disposable in the wind... M: What we gave can never disappear. Both: Disposable in the wind...
