Watching The World Go By

I wipe the dreams from my eyes, face the morning outside

And I wake up watching the world go by

I see the sun & the rain from my seat on the train

Thru the window

Watching the world go by

And I look on at the day unfolding

And the traffic going nowhere

Gazing out on the street and the faces I meet everyday

Watching the world go by

There are those who don't stop for the hands on the clock

They don't see the way that time can fly

Always running behind with so much on their minds

As for me, I'm watching the world go by

And thru it all with the hours passing,

Everybody rushing somewhere

They're all moving so fast, trying hard to get past

As I stand watching the world go by

And in the end when the day is over

When I ask myself just where the world is going

And what's been lost what's been gained

Have our lives really changed

Then I laugh, but sometimes I wanna cry

Watching the world go by
