I saw the lights go out this morningJust as the sun was coming up
I was still walking round the cityTrying to find a way to sober up
There were cold and concrete canyonsJust as far as I could see
And in a window I saw someoneAnd I thought he looked an awful lot like me
And I could hear him say
Im not gonna cry today

Im gonna take it all in stride
And keep the tears inside

And see what I can find
Im not gonna think about it
Im just gonna live without it

Today will come and go
And Ill get by I know

Just one step at a time
I looked around to see who listenedThe words just echoed off the stone
And as the street filled up with peopleI wondered why I felt so all alone
I found a seat beside a statueSomebody once a famous man
And though his deed was long forgottenHe was standing just as tall as he could stand
