What They Tell Us
The lights, the dancing lights
Look at the view Young lady
Look at the view
There’s an open world out there
But it’s closed off to you
You need money
Still, avarice is a sin
You need some to get more
If you have nothing
Then nothing is what you get
The people, look at the people
“All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?”
From the slums and the alleys
The backstreets and corners
From penthouses and yachts
Ballrooms and suburbs
Look at all the lonely people
You must not care
But then again you do
Care just a little, but more than expected
Test us and test us
Time and Time again
Sometimes there’s kindness
Through the lense of a canon
So focus in, pull tight
Don’t let it bend
There is darkness here
It has power to grow
But child, be sweet
Don’t let it be
Stay strong, stay true
We all tend to wander
If it’s meant to be
It will be so
