Did somebody once turn on a light? [Pre-Chorus] There are a thousand stories In the faces that we pass And sometimes I can't help but wonder How quickly everything can change [Chorus] Who was he before the street knew his name? Was he somebody's father, somebody's son? Did he work with his hands until they hurt? Did he dream of a life when he was young? Did somebody love him enough to stay? Did he have a little girl who called him Dad? I don't know his story I only know I couldn't stop wondering How he got here How he got here [Verse 2] Maybe he punched a clock for thirty years Maybe he wore a tie and paid his bills Maybe he built a house for someone else While his own four walls were standing still Maybe there's a photograph inside his pocket Of a family he hasn't seen in years Maybe someone's still searching for him Maybe no one even knows he's here [Pre-Chorus] We pass beneath the same sky But live such different lives One bad break, one closed door And suddenly you're outside [Chorus] Who was he before the street knew his name? Was he somebody's husband, somebody's son? Did he laugh too loud around a kitchen table? Did he have a favorite song he'd hum? Did somebody promise they'd never leave? Did somebody mean it when they said, "I care"? I don't know his story I only know There had to be a life Before he got here [Verse 3] I wanted to stop and ask him something But what could I possibly say? "Where did you come from?" seemed too small "How did you lose everything?" felt cruel that way So I drove on through the morning traffic With my coffee cooling in my hand And felt the strange weight of a stranger I'd probably never understand [Bridge] Maybe he isn't broken Maybe life just broke around him Maybe he's still someone's little boy Even if nobody's around him Maybe he still remembers The sound of his mother's voice Maybe underneath that worn-out coat He's still a man with dreams and choices [Chorus] Who was he before the street knew his name? Before the sidewalks became his home? Was there someone who knew his birthday? Was there someone who hated seeing him alone? Did he once believe he'd make a difference? Did he once believe he'd be okay? I don't know his story And maybe I never will But I couldn't just forget his face [Verse 4] Tonight I'll probably drive that road again And wonder if he's somewhere out there Maybe walking toward a place I've never seen Maybe hoping someone will care And maybe that's the part that stays with me Not knowing what tomorrow brings How many people walk beside us Carrying invisible things [Final Chorus] Who are we before the world knows our names? Before the headlines, before the scars? We're someone's child, someone's memory Someone's wish upon a distant star And maybe every stranger has a story That deserves more than a passing glance Maybe compassion starts with wondering Before we ever understand [Outro] I saw a man walking down the road this morning And I don't know where he came from I don't know where he's going I don't know his name But for one quiet moment I wondered about his life And somehow That made him more than a stranger 👑💋👑💋👑💋👑💋👑💋👑💋👑💋👑💋👑💋👑
