I am the stranger in the shadows I am the sleeper at the wheel Am I the choice & the anonymous voice That says none of it's real I've heard the footsteps of the hungry I've heard the breathing of relief I heard the scream of a mother in a dream But that could have been me    I walked out to the grieving ocean I lay down by the thirsty sea I found a man there dying without water He looked just like me I have come from the walls of worry I fled the wounded streets of war I walked a thousand miles in the wrong direction But what was it for?
