This has been a favorite of mine for many years... Since I lived in Moscow, Russia. A BIG city of over 10 million people... It just seemed as if this song put into words what I saw as I walked about the city... Lonely Voices Crying in the City Words & Music by Billie Hanks, Jr. (c) 1967 1. Lonely voices crying in the city, Lonely voices sounding like a child. Lonely voices come from busy people; Too disturbed to stop a little while. Lonely voices fill my dreams; Lonely voices haunt my memory. 2. Lonely faces looking for the sunrise Just to find another busy day. Lonely faces all around the city; Men afraid but too ashamed to pray. Lonely faces do I see; Lonely faces haunt my memory. 3. Lonely eyes--I see them in the subway; Burdened by the worries of the day. Men at leisure, but they're so unhappy; Tired of foolish roles they try to play. Lonely people do I see; Lonely people haunt my memory. 4. Abundant life He came to truly give man; But so few His gift of grace receive. Lonely people live in every city; Men who face a dark and lonely grave. Lonely faces do I see; Lonely voices calling out to me. |
