I watch people in their lives
At work, in the store, and at home;
These people are not very wise.

Many of these people seem so alone
Out of body, out of mind, out of place
At work, in the store, and at home.

They wonder around in a crowded space
Never quite knowing who they are
Out of body, out of mind, out of place.

Worry about their brand new cars.
Confused, lost, unable to see life's true beauty
Never quite knowing who they are.

A penny for your thoughts? I'd sure like to look and see
These people, they simply wonder around
Confused, lost, unable to see life's true beauty.

What a pity that their life is time-bound
I watch people in their lives
These people, they simply wonder around
These people are not very wise.
