Can't you see the lonely?
Every day I see this man he's sleepin' in a box on the street
There's a woman smokin' cigarettes and pickin' through trash for something to eat
Hey businessman I see you down on Wall Street in some bar drinkin' all alone.
I see women with their tired glances with some man made of stone
All alone I see people facin every day
With a saddness no one talks about
Pretend that we don't see maybe it will go away
But we feel all alone even when we pray
Can't you see the lonely?
Don't you see the lonely people
There're everywhere you look what can we do?
Can't you see their only
Don't you know there're only people
Like me and you
Hey Hey Hey
Even though the world now is so connected
We still run to our caves and shut the doors
We're breeding fear and hate in this fragile world we've erected
We need each other now even more.
All alone and sad I take my prescription
A little pill that makes me feel well
Why can't we see the grace of touching each other's faces?
How long can we all live in this hell?
Can't you see the lonely?
Don't you see the lonely people
There're everywhere you look what can we do?
Can't you see their only
Don't you know there're only people
Like me and you
Can't you see the lonely?
Can't we all greet each other every day
Save ourselves from this suicidal game we play.
All it takes is the peace of just a single word
Make it heard all around the world.
Can't you see the lonely?
Don't you see the lonely people
There're everywhere you look what can we do?
Can't you see their only
Don't you know there're only people
Like me and you.
Can't you See the lonely?
Can't You see the lonely?
Can't you see the lonely?
Don't you see the lonely?
Can't you see the lonely man in me?
