Lyrics
Look at all this crowd of hurrying people
Rushing through their daily lives
Searching souls and empty faces
Pass you by
Wise old men tell their story
As lonely tears fill their eyes
Of broken dreams and hopes of glory
Passed
The years roll by, the world gets colder
Children play, old men die
Life goes on, we all grow older
Wonder why
Look at all this crowd of hurrying people
Rushing through their daily lives
Searching souls and empty faces
pass you by
Listen to the wind blowing across the valley
Look at all the clouds gathered in the sky
Watch the birds fly home for winter
Don't .. Don't let them pass you by
