V1:
Found a spot and took a seat
On a park bench and watched the people go on by
Ever wonder where they're going or where they're from
Young kids go running by
Their parents walking slowly behind
A bunch of strangers intersecting
Chorus:
Do you ever wonder about the lives of other people
They come and they go, to and fro
Like background characters on a tv show
We're all just living in our own world
Just trying to make it another day
Don't always pause to look and see
The world and all it's beauty
And all the ones who make it so
So the next time you have a minute free
Look around and see the lives of other people
V2:
Made it through security, sitting at the gate
Watching all the people take a seat
A man in a suit, opens his computer gets to work
A student headed home for holiday break
200 strangers, squeezed in like sardines
But they all got business in New Orleans
Chorus:
Do you ever wonder about the lives of other people
They come and they go, to and fro
Like background characters on a tv show
We're all just living in our own world
Just trying to make it another day
Don't always pause to look and see
The world and all it's beauty
And all the ones who make it so
So the next time you have a minute free
Look around and see the lives of other people
Bridge:
Standing on the platform waiting for 261
50 other people trying to make their way home
The doors open and they all step on
Chorus:
Do you ever wonder about the lives of other people
They come and they go, to and fro
Like background characters on a tv show
We're all just living in our own world
Just trying to make it another day
Don't always pause to look and see
The world and all it's beauty
And all the ones who make it so
So the next time you have a minute free
Look around and see the lives of other people
