Lyrics
Abstraction
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The girl looks out from the window of the airplane
20,000 feet up in the sky
She picks a rooftop in the middle of the town
and wonders what is happening inside
The tv in the kitchen flashes faces
The woman slowly pushes in the chairs
Her neighbors son is fighting in the army
She's concentrating to remember where
Who can know the pain, the joy, the regret, the satisfaction
Who can know the love of one life, one heart, one soul
at two you're at abstraction
The man is waiting for the bus into the city
He grabs a drink slowly reads the Times
His heart is captured by a story of a child
Around the world but always on his mind
A million this, a million that
A mass sum of individuals
A million here, a million there
Made up of a million souls
