Vietnam
This girl’s walking down the street
I wonder who she’s gonna meet
She seems to be
A bit in a rush
There’s a man walking down the street
With an old pair of boots on his feet
I sure wonder
Where they’ve been
Have they climbed a mountain a two
Been down to the bar
And met a few of those people
That traveled so far
Does he tie them
One lace at a time
Chorus
There’s no way of knowing
When a stranger passes you on the street
What they’ve seen
There’s no way of showing
The complexities between
Lives unseen
——-
There’s a woman walking to the store
Is she going through an internal war
Of what brand of hummus
That she should buy
There’s a dog running through the street
Her owner let her off her lease
Now I guess
I guess she’s free
Chorus
There’s one
Way of knowing
Look them
into their eyes
Try to understand
The sonder
Between your soul
And each passerby
——-
There’s a mother sitting in her car
Shes come so far
Smiling as she sees her kid
After school
There’s a baby in the back seat
Curious about all the things
I wonder who she was
In her past life
Chorus
When you see people
For who they are
You see the distance between you and them
Isn’t too far
When you see that we
Are all humans
You begin to understand
That we all have scars
——-
There a couple sitting under a tree
Looking back at all the life that they’ve seen
Collectively
More than a century
Old and grey but young at heart
They didn’t have to play any parts
In this crazy thing
That we call life
Chorus
There’s no
Way of feeling
All that they’ve felt
In those years
There’s no
Way of knowing
Al the smiles that they’ve shared
And all the tears
