    Lyrics
    One in five... one in five of us they say,
    One in five, or even more some claim,
    One in five.. at sometime in their lives.
    Will be touched by an illness of the brain.


    They are members of your family
    They’re the homeless on the street;
    They’re your classmates and your co-workers too..
    Your friends and your neighbours
    It could be anyone you meet.
    Could be me it could be you....

    They’re not freaks, and they’re not rejects
    From society,
    Something’s been broken that’s in need of repair.
    They’re not people that we have to hide no we
    Need them for all that they can share

    They could use our help but we could use theirs too..
    We need their insights and their skills....
    Let them play a role
    That’ll help to make them whole..
    There’s no better treatment for their ills....
