The Same Song

There's a mother who is idling
In the elementary school pick up line - singing ooh

And a woman wearing a bright orange safety vest blowing a
Whistle in time - singing ooh

And there's a man across the street
At his front window lifting the blinds
To see the kids filing out with their
Backpacks dragging behind - singing ooh

There's a couple staring into each other's eyes over their
Glasses of water - singing ooh

And a short order cook heading back to the grill
To flip their burgers over - singing ooh

There's the woman with a missing front
Tooth and a crooked smile
Counting the cash in her apron getting
Ready for closing time - singing ooh

They're all singing, they're all singing, they're all singing
The same song
There's a single father waiting for his kids to arrive for their
Monthly visit - singing ooh

And a woman walking around the gate
Picking up the trash and abandoned papers - singing ooh

And a man in a camouflage jacket is holding his wife
He's trying to convince her that it won't be their last goodbye
- Ooh

They're all singing, they're all singing, they're all singing
The same song

Maybe you came with a sad melody ringing in your heart -
Ooh

Maybe your notes are like flickers of hope trying to light the
Dark - Ooh

Oh and I bring stories of my own from a broken life
But if we dare to open up to each other I think we'll find
We're all singing, We're all singing, We're all singing
The same song
