ten years after
as the sun still burns away
A thousand cities in the night Each one waiting for the light Ten million people plan their day As the sun still burns away  As the earth just spins in space People plan their daily race As the sun still burns away Few say "Thank you for the day" All the people in their ties Forget to look up at the sky they exist another day As the sun still burns away   I wonder just how long we'll last When the final die is cast Every day brings forth the time When the sun forgets to shine
