Lyrics
A MILLION LIVES
VERSE 1
Beneath this city's feet lies a ground of stone
Its a bedrock made by men
And though some prints might meet in a rare event
Soon they'll wash away again
And though a million lives make this city thrive
At times it feels like it's made of one
It seems this makeshift bed has left us undone
VERSE 2
"Step back into my life, I never meant you harm"
Cries the soul who sees the ends
Who sees the sickness rife through these city's streets
And longs for weathered friends
And though a million lives make this city thrive
The time for making time has just begun
And as these weary limbs leave their stony whims
They'll stand upon the land reserved for sons
And lasting prints will blend into one
