the sun isn't rising quite early enough
there's a river of people just standing in line
standing in line and waiting and smiling
and talking and hoping the sun's gonna shine
when they get ready they open the door
open the window, rich and poor - first floor...please
gotta get ready, you gotta get there
gotta look nice, gotta fix your hair
gotta wear nice shoes, a nice suit, a tie
dress-to-impress and ya don't know why, but...
I'm gonna be there too - It gives us something to do
here we are - and I wanna thank you
i wanna show you - and I wanna know you
here we are and who knows
where it's gonna lead tomorrow
she's carrying packages, balancing gear
hailing a taxi - it's perfectly clear
there's a lot on her mind: her family, shopping
make dinner, go skiing, her kids, a career
how will she know when her life is complete
no taxi coming, she crosses the street - and takes a seat...
but although it ain't easy, she doesn't complain
she skips on the sidewalk, even in the rain
gives her umbrella to someone in need
I've watched her do that again and again
places a flower by the parking ticket - on a stranger's car
here we are - and I wanna thank you
i wanna know you - and I wanna show you
here we are, and who knows
where it's gonna lead tomorrow
gotta give something to this world
gotta get up and enjoy the ride
smaller things aren't always heard
but the smallest voice is still inside
you've gotta give something to this world
you've gotta get up and enjoy the ride
gotta give something to this world
'cause this is it - the time is now
oh, nobody's gonna show us how
and that's the truth, that's the truth about tomorrow
here we are - and I wanna thank you
i wanna show you - and I wanna know you
here we are, and who knows
where it's gonna lead tomorrow.
