Thousands of Faces (Heart Beats Vers.)

They packed their dreams in paper bags
And left the fields of green
A ticket punched a final glance
At what they'd always seen
The road stretched out a thread of hope
Through towns that whispered by
Each mile a mark each step a vow
To touch a brighter sky

Thousands of faces scattered in the night
Moving through the city beneath the neon light
Some in search of fortune some desire fame
Caught up in the fight to stay alive some forget just why they came

You can hear them play their music
You can watch them play their scenes
Painting pretty pictures
Relating vivid dreams
By way of their expression
That feeds through hungry eyes
Ever watchful of the heavens for
Their star to cross the skies

Thousands of faces scattered in the night
Moving through the city beneath the neon light
Some in search of fortune some desire fame
Caught up in the fight to stay alive some forget just why they came

They work in clubs and cafes
Some they work the streets
Whatever they can find to do
For enough to make ends meet
Surviving for the moment
And living for the day
Driven by a strong desire to
Somehow find a way

Find a way to reach the heavens
Find a way to spread their wings
Out of thousands of faces
There'll be some who live their dreams
For some the stars don't fall in line
Their dreams drift out of view
Not for lack of heart or trying
But the breaks just never came through

Thousands of faces scattered in the night
Moving through the city beneath the neon light
Some in search of fortune some desire fame
Caught up in the fight to stay alive some forget just why they came
