The girl looks out from the window of the airplane 
20,000 feet up in the sky 
She picks a rooftop in the middle of the town 
And wonders what is happening inside 

The tv in the kitchen flashes faces 
The woman slowly pushes in the chairs 
Her neighbors son is fighting in the army 
She's concentrating to remember where 

Who can know the pain the joy the regret the satisfaction/passion 
Who can know the love of one life, one heart, one soul 
At two you're at abstraction 

The man is waiting for the bus into the city 
He's grabs a drink slowly reads the Times 
His heart is captured by a story of a child 
Around the world/ miles away but always on his mind 

A million this a million that 
A mass sum of individuals 
A million come/here a million go/there 
Made up of a million souls
