Out on the street tonight 
There's a million lonely people 
And nobody knows why they just can't find a friend 
Or maybe a lover or just someone to talk to 
Everybody's running hey now, something's got to give 

In my life 
I've never seen so many 
People work so hard to be loved 

The pressure's on 
Who can beat the champion 
Who can beat the system 
Who can play their fucking game 
While the unfortunate one 
Cries out on the street tonight 
Kicking at the trash cans hey now 
Cussing at the rain 

In my life 
I've never seen so many
People work so hard to survive 

I don't understand 
Where my balance was sure 
I could reach out my hand 
And bring you so much more 
More than this half-hearted faith 
More than a witness tonight 
Maybe next time around 
I'll get it right

A purple sky 
A yellow field 
A deep green ocean 
A pretty red rose makes it's way 
For what it's worth 
And down on the street tonight 
I got your picture in my pocket 
As I listen to the rumbling of us 
Living here on earth 

In my life 
I've never seen so many 
People work so hard 
To believe 
To survive 
To be loved 
To stay alive
