Driving down the street
I see you've got bare feet
I don't even know your name
But I've seen you a million times

A million times I've passed you by
We never stop even to say, "hi"
But I see you face and know life's not free
But I wonder have you ever seen me?

We live in the same neighborhood
But our lives are so different
Where do you go when it rains?
Who's there to heal all of you pains?

Me in the house, you behind the alley
You're from the park, I'm from the Valley
I wish your life didn't have to be so hard
Cept for me too, 'cause like I said, "Life's not free, life's not fair
Life's not equal, let's not compare, your life to mine, mine to yours

Me in the house, you behind the alley
You're from the park, I'm from the Valley
I wish your life didn't have to be so hard
But I said it before life's not free even for me

A million times I've passed you by
Driving down the street
We never stop even to say hi
I see you've got bare feet
But I see you face and know life's not free
I don't even know your name
But I wonder have you ever seen me?
But I've seen you a million times
