Hope that you don't mind, I beg your pardon
Have you seen the people on the street
Maybe it's the way the nights have hardened
But you're the only one out here with eyes that I can meet
Don't you notice
How the air's so cold
Is it real, this
World where no one's whole
Tell me why their smiles stay with them all day
Tell me why their voices sing like everything's fine
It's heaven on earth as they say
But then
Tell me why the starlight still can't find its way
Tell me why the light won't shine this way
Would you let me whisper a confession
Honestly I know not what I do
Sorry if you're bothered by such a question
But could you help me leave this place and go start anew
Don't you notice
How the air's so cold
Is it real, this
World where no one's whole
Tell me why their smiles stay with them all day
Tell me why their voices sing like everything's fine
It's heaven on earth as they say
But then
Tell me why the starlight still can't find its way
Tell me why the light won't shine this way
Could it be
Could it be that God's not on our side
Did we ever trust or have faith enough
So we could live to feel alive
Tell me why their smiles stay with them all day
Tell me why their voices sing like everything's fine
It's heaven on earth as they say
But then
Tell me why the starlight still can't find its way
Tell me why the light won't shine this way
