A dog barks
And a baby cries
On an empty street
On a peaceful night

The preacher man prays
The ******* kneels
Hoping for change
Far away as it feels

The businessman sleeps
While the janitor cleans
Neither aware
That they share the same dreams

The teacher drives home
As his students get high
Both only searching
For a way to get by

The terrorist plots
And the soldier stands guard
The hate of the past
Leaving them scarred

The juror stays restless
The athlete’s heart races
Nervous of the challenges
That tomorrow embraces

Two lovers lay down
Not one word is spoken
Night turns to day
And the human thread is woven
