On the Street

I see the street outside my window

I see the streets all around my place

I think about what they mean to me

I think about what they're saying

I see people pull together

I see people pulled apart

I see people torn and frayed by life

I see people pushing on

Sha la la, whoa-oh-oh-oh

Sha la la, whoa-oh-oh

I see random acts of kindness

I see random acts of hate

I see folks from every side of this town

We all need shelter from the rain

I see mansions up on the hill

I see people without a home

Most of us are just scraping by

We're the skin on the bone

On the street

You'll see the life unfold

On the street

You'll see right into their eyes

On the street

You'll see the truth and lies

On the street

You'll soon find out who you are

Sha la la, whoa-oh-oh-oh

Sha la la, whoa-oh-oh

I see people falling into the cracks

I see people standing on the edge

I see people who will hold out a hand to you

I see people who are your friend

I see people who hide in the shadows

I see people with a broken heart

I see people who think they know the future

I see people who don't know the past

On the street

You'll see the life unfold

On the street

You'll see right into their eyes

On the street

You'll see the truth and lies

On the street

You'll soon find out who you are

On the street

You'll see the life unfold

On the street

You'll see right into their eyes

On the street

You'll see the truth and lies

On the street

You'll soon find out who you are

Sha la la, whoa-oh-oh-oh

Sha la la, whoa-oh-oh

Sha la la, whoa-oh-oh-oh
