Lonely Voices Crying in the City

Lonely voic­es cry­ing in the ci­ty

Lonely voic­es sound­ing like a child.

Lonely voic­es come from bu­sy peo­ple

Too dis­turbed to stop a lit­tle while.

Lonely voic­es fill my dreams

Lonely voic­es haunt my me­mo­ry.

Lonely fac­es look­ing for the sun­rise

Just to find an­oth­er bu­sy day.

Lonely fac­es all around the ci­ty

Men afraid

but too ashamed to pray.

Lonely fac­es do I see

Lonely fac­es haunt my me­mo­ry.

Lonely eyes

I see them in the sub­way

Burdened by the wor­ries of the day;

Men at lei­sure

but they’re so un­hap­py

Tired of fool­ish roles they try to play.

Lonely peo­ple do I see

Lonely peo­ple haunt my me­mo­ry.

Abundant life He came to tru­ly give man

But so few His gift of grace re­ceive.

Lonely pe­ople live in ev­ery ci­ty

Men who face a dark and lone­ly grave.

Lonely fac­es do I see

Lonely voic­es call­ing out to me.
