Cold blows the wind through the busy streets Crowds hurry home as the sun disappears There sits the man with the worn-down face And he knows he's not welcome here The street singer smiles as the coins rain down Those cheerful tunes ease our guilt and our fear We all turn our heads from the man on the ground And he knows he's not welcome here But there's a light in the darkness There's a song in the sound There's a voice in the silence And it's time we listen now Who told us all that a desperate plea Is just bad behaviour that should disappear Who made the rules on the price of a life And who said they're not welcome here But there's a light in the darkness There's a song in the sound There's a voice in the silence And it's time we listen now But there's a light in the darkness There's a song in the sound There's a voice in the silence And it's time we listen now There's a light in the darkness There's a song in the sound There's a voice in the silence And it's time we listen now There's a voice in the silence And it's time we listen now
