Say hello to the World,
people rushing all around,
busy in their day-to-day scene.
Looking round at everything,
the homeless man,
the would-be king,
hard to think it's not some crazy dream.
The lives we lead are all so full,
of friends of friends of staying cool,
never with the chance to say:
'Hello to you, do I know you?
Let's make it that I do know you,
before we have to roll on by'...
Roll on By.....
Roll on By.
Never stop to think about,
the lives we never knew about,
I wonder what makes them laugh and cry...
Say hello to my new friend,
we met and then we met again,
we shared a little space and time.
I don't recall what you are called,
in fact I don't remember you at all,
once more, tell me your name I'll tell you mine.
Maybe we can start again,
or maybe we should both pretend,
to know the things that we don't know.
And I'll give a thought, for a little while,
to all the times I've shared a smile,
with people who just roll on by...
Roll on By.....
Roll on By.
Never stop to think about,
the lives we never knew about,
I wonder what makes them laugh and cry...
Say hello.
To the World.
Never stop.
Thinking about....
Roll on By.....
Roll on By.
Never stop to think about,
the lives we never knew about,
I wonder what makes them laugh and cry...
