City Bright

I walked down the street on a city night
On a bright, lit city night
There were faces all around
Looking near, looking far
And each and every one 
I know could ask why
Could ask why am I
Why is it 
Why

On this bright city night
They were all human
But many perhaps not being quite
Many were deflected, distracted
Not connected, not acted
Just reacted

Maybe I'm wrong
I don't know their arts
In each of their hearts
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps yes
They all can sing
Yes I'm sure they can
