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 $#&@ing 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
