Washed Away

Footsteps on the pavement;
Like the steady fall of rain
The sound and rhythm frees me
From all my thoughts and pain

Souls within a city
Pooled together by this place
Combining to form a medley
I’m just a nameless face

To some it can be deadly;
Being sorrounded but alone
For they don’t see the beauty
Of life framed by stone

We all have our duties
To perform every day
If you stop to watch them
You’ll see it all my way
