I’ve seen a lady smiling
I’ve seen a baby starving
The more I approached the skyline
Difference intensified, I
I’ve seen a lady smiling
I’ve seen a baby starving
The more I approached the skyline
Difference intensified, I
Think about something that you really care
Think about something that you really, really care
And then
Keep it inside, keep in mind
Bill has got a new car with his name on it
But he can’t afford to pay the bills
I’ve seen a lady smiling
I’ve seen a baby starving
The more I approached the skyline
Difference intensified, I
She is hosting a smile on her cheeks
But she don’t know his gold is on loan
If I could find you in this storm
I would tell you that I
I’ve seen a lady smiling
I’ve seen a baby starving
The more I approached the skyline
Difference intensified, I
We’re dressing the wool
Like we’ll always be cold, inside-out
But there’s a whisper in this soft wind
And children games with grains of sand
That warm up my hope again
I’ve seen a lady smiling
I’ve seen a baby starving
The more I approached the skyline
Difference intensified, I
