Lyrics
There's a light that shines at the corner downtown
At the edge of the curb where the road begins
There's an old man who sits there day after day
He watches the world go by
His eyes are worn, he's been through enough and seen even more
He's seen more than anyone else he knows
Day after day, he's seen the joy
Day after day, he's seen the pain
A mother walks her kids hand in hand
They look up to her like smiles in ther pockets
Conveniently they walk, doubling her stride
Just to keep up, and one day they'll walk away
The time will pass, the time will change
It will not stop
The day will end with a dark sky that closes in on us
The world will pass, the world will change
It will not stop
Our time will end with a beautiful, bright, and solemn sky
Laughter lingers down the street
After the show, crowds and shuffling feet
There's a young kid trying to find his way
He can not stay
He has to go away
