I saw you on the train
Beautiful green eyes
And that seductive Smile
I saw you on the train
I wonder if I’ll see you again

We rode into the city
We walked across the bridge
The night was warm and breezy
And we were filled with bliss

We danced and danced and danced
And I walked you from the train
We stopped to steal a kiss
And I could not see the rain

We talked through half the night
To the sun’s rise we awoke
We laid there in embrace
And half the day we spoke

But you had to go back home
So many nights I cried
My soul now felt so empty
‘Cause you made it so alive

Down under we were perfect
Up here it’s not the same
But sometimes when I close my eyes
I see you on that train
I wonder if I’ll see you again

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

Sing me sweet songs
Take my mind off the world
Let the melody of your voice
Make my heart stir

Lay your head upon my chest
And whisper softly in my ear
Let the beating of your heart
Be the one to calm my fear

The world outside is cold
But it’s awful warm in here
Let’s make love all day
Come lay with me my dear

We have nothing left but time
So do not rush out there
Just put your hand in mine
And Forever we can share

Outside it is not safe
It’s more than I can bear
So sing me sweet songs
And keep us far from there

Alone we will not make it
I’m afraid we’ll lose our way
So sing me sweet songs, love
And we’ll make our escape

And if a day finds us apart
If I must go away -
Just sing me sweet songs
And in your heart I’ll always stay

You say theres nothing to smile about
And I'd have to say thats true
You say the world's in disarray
And we haven't got a clue

You say theres wars and famines
Disasters quakes and floods
Neighborhoods filled with broken homes
The streets run red with blood

You say we look through shattered eyes
And hear with deafened ears
Refuse to try on others shoes
Or answer to their tears

You say you've lost all hope
That we've gone beyond repair
Our problems are too many
Still the system doesn't care

You say we're all too selfish
That we'll never make it out
You've lost your faith in humanity
Your heart succumbed to doubt

My friend I understand
And I fear these sentiments true
I do not hold the answers
But this I say to you

Hope is only lost
When negativity ensues
You say theres nothing to smile about
I say, I smile for You
