Lyrics

Missed opportunities they take their toll
The train rolls on till you can't hear it no more

Why can't we love those from afar, why can't we reach beyond our backyards.

One man he falls, robbed and all alone
Should we stop, should we stop at all
We walk on by to the other side
We pretend, yes we try to pretend

But why can't we love those from afar, why can't we reach beyond our backyards
Repeat Chorus
