• Today I saw a smiling man so far away
    I wish I was as happy as he
    But I thought I saw a tear
    Maybe it was just me

    I hear a crying man across the street
    Though he smiles in my direction
    Soft whispers of melancholy reach my ears
    But not until he's done

    I see a dying man on his knees across the room
    Though he makes not the slightest sound
    He knows not that I hear his pain
    As he falls to the ground

    I see a broken man beside me
    Though he appears to be quite fine
    Wears a veil to mask the pain inside
    And only I see through it's lines
