The Lives of a Million People

I want you and your beautiful spirit I want your fruitful bliss - I want all of it I've never been so moved before you came around But, my heart has been put into the lost and found The nourishment of life Has drowned out all the strife The thought of you leaving me behind Makes me think life is so unkind The lives of a million people, Driving through the lane of thought The lives of a million people, Driving through the lane of thought The lives of a million people, Thriving day to day productively Longing to be free from captivity Everyone's a winner in my eyes of honesty Their tired eyes will rest They will wake at the break of dawn I'll try my very best To belong in the arms of peace-abiding angels The nourishment of life Has drowned out all the strife The lives of a million people, Driving through the lane of thought The lives of a million people, Going through hardships with the strength they got Dismay and chaos overwhelm me so It reduces me to mere anxiety and woe I can't go on... I can't go on... I can't move on... Without you near my side forevermore I swore you're the one that I adore The lives of a million people, Living their life in the fast lane Living their life for the sake of gain The lives of a million people, Driving through the lane of thought The lives of a million people, Tired and worn-out by the wars they fought Living their life, Trying to remain sane Peace and strife Goes through our thought train The trace of grace is upon your face Trying to kéep pace in this life's race Your support is a rose in the field of blessings Everyone has their difficult upbringings I was meant to live this life in glorious ray I was meant to live life to the fullest day by day But, I keep on thinking My mind is rising and sinking The lives of a million people, Dricing through the lane of thought The lives of a million people, Working hard till they are as dead as a vacant lot
