The sadness in your eyes
I see you on the corner
As traffic passes by
I watch as people never see
The sadness in your eyes
They all walk past pretending
That you do not exist
They will not see the sorrow
Or the life that you must live
I see you on the corner
As you hold your cardboard sign
Hoping that just one may read
And understand your life
You do not bother others
You sit there in your place
With a cup that reads spare a dime
And sadness on your face
I see you on the corner
As the traffic passes by
I watch as people never see
The sadness in your eyes
I see you on the corner

I see you on the corner
As traffic passes by
I watch as people never see
The sadness in your eyes
They all walk past pretending
That you do not exist
They will not see the sorrow
Or the life that you must live
I see you on the corner
As you hold your cardboard sign
Hoping that just one may read
And understand your life
You do not bother others
You sit there in your place
With a cup that reads spare a dime
And sadness on your face
I see you on the corner
As the traffic passes by
I watch as people never see
The sadness in your eyes
I see you on the corner
