Lyrics
EVERY FACE HAS A STORY TO TELL
VERSE 1
We walk past each other on the crowded, nameless streets
We?re breathing in the same air
But we don?t pay attention to the faces that we see
Or the stories hidden there
Each stranger is like a mannequin window display
That we just pass on by
And their stories are buried in the footsteps of the day
And we rush off to our lives
CHORUS
Every face has a story to tell
But we look the other way
And if we paid attention to the stories out there
Oh what a difference we could make
VERSE 2
We walk past tears and jaws made of stone
We?re careful not to show our own scars
And we rush to meetings not taking time to notice
How many faces look like ours
Each face is a snowflake blowing past our busy lives
Each needing its own time
But the stories are buried in the snowstorms of our day
And we rush off to our lives
CHORUS
Every face has a story to tell
But we look the other way
And if we paid attention to the stories out there
Oh what a difference we could make
SOLO
CHORUS
Every face has a story to tell
But we look the other way
And if we paid attention to the stories out there
Oh what a difference we could make
And if we paid attention to the stories out there
Oh what a difference we could make
Oh what a difference we could make
