Out on the street tonight
|
There's a million lonely people
|
And nobody knows why they just can't find a friend
|
Or maybe a lover or just someone to talk to
|
Everybody's running hey now, something's got to give
|
|
In my life
|
I've never seen so many
|
People work so hard to be loved
|
|
The pressure's on
|
Who can beat the champion
|
Who can beat the system
|
Who can play their fucking game
|
While the unfortunate one
|
Cries out on the street tonight
|
Kicking at the trash cans hey now
|
Cussing at the rain
|
In my life
|
I've never seen so many
|
People work so hard to survive
|
|
I don't understand
|
Where my balance was sure
|
I could reach out my hand
|
And bring you so much more
|
More than this half-hearted faith
|
More than a witness tonight
|
Maybe next time around
|
I'll get it right
|
|
A purple sky
|
A yellow field
|
A deep green ocean
|
A pretty red rose makes it's way
|
For what it's worth
|
And down on the street tonight
|
I got your picture in my pocket
|
As I listen to the rumbling of us
|
Living here on earth
|
|
In my life
|
I've never seen so many
|
People work so hard
|
To believe
|
To survive
|
To be loved
|
To stay alive
|
