WATCHING THE WORLD GO BY

Most times he sits alone Without a dream, without a phone No friends, no one to call Always on his own, behind the wall What does it mean, sitting all alone Contemplating why others are on the phone Just watching the world as it passes by People with purpose, planes in the sky Coming from somewhere, going somewhere Living their lives without a care He's just sitting wondering why Watching the world go by Life is fast, a highway in the skies And he's stuck here, lost in his wise What could have been, if he'd made the right choice A better life, a louder voice Where would he be, if he had his chance Would life be better, a different dance Just watching the world as it passes by People with purpose, planes in the sky Coming from somewhere, going somewhere Living their lives without a care He's just sitting wondering why Watching the world go by Maybe a family, maybe a child A house on the beach, a life so wild But the choices he made left him behind Now all he has is his wandering mind It's just another day, drifting away Looking back at words he didn't say Just watching the world as it passes by People with purpose, planes in the sky Coming from somewhere, going somewhere Living their lives without a care He's just sitting wondering why Watching the world go by Everything's gone, and he's all alone A silent heart, a life unknown Another day fades into the night Just watching the world, lost in its light
