Shadows in the City

She stands by the corner light, cold hands in the dead of night
People pass, they turn away, no one hears the words she'd say
It's just another night in the city, where the bright lights fade to grey
No one stops to share her story, they all just walk away

He waits by the station door, dreams don't live here anymore
Holds a photo in his hand, lost from where he used to stand
It's just another night in the city, where the bright lights fade to grey
No one stops to hear his story, they all just walk away

We keep our eyes down low, afraid of what we know
But if we dare to see, that just like you and me
It's just another night in the city
But it doesn't have to stay that way, we can stop and change the story
We can help them find their way

Shadows in the city, don't let them fade away
