A thousand cities in the night

Each one waiting for the light

Ten million people plan their day

As the sun still burns away



As the earth just spins in space

People plan their daily race

As the sun still burns away

Few say "thank you for the day"







All the people in their ties

Forget to look up at the sky

They exist another day

As the sun still burns away





I wonder just how long we'll last

When the final die is cast

Every day brings forth the time

When the sun forgets to shine
