A Face in the Crowd

The rain has chased away the sun
The darkest night has yet to come
And now you’re fallin’in too deep
It won’t be long 'till you fall asleep
You count your blessings one by one
And everythin’that has been done
Well it’s a game you’ve gotta win
It’s your life
You know where you’ve been
So don’t you weep, don’t you cry
Secrets that you thought you’d keep
Farewell to wisdom, goodbye
When you’re a face in the crowd
You have to shine thru’with grace
No need for shoutin’out loud
Not for the parts you take
Or for the hearts you break
Somethin’that you can’t deny
Don’t let it all pass you by Now you don’t seem to get around
And in everythin’you’ve found
Somehow nothin’stays the same
And believe some of us remain
So don’t you weep, don’t you cry
Secrets that you thought you’d keep
Farewell to wisdom, goodbye
When you’re a face in the crowd
You have to shine thru’with grace
No need for shoutin’out loud
Not for the parts you take
Or for the hearts you break
Somethin’that you can’t deny
Don’t let it all pass you by You’re lost in the wilderness
Ain’t no way of leavin'
You think you’re helpless
In a place unknown
You don’t know you’re standin'
At the gates of Eden
Someone’s waitin'
Gonna take you home
