lyrics
Passerby copyright 2008 by Troy L. Axtens



Old man walks out his door
Like he's done a thousand times before
To go out and get the milk he needs for his coffee.
Then on the short walk home
While crossing the street all alone
He's struck down by a car laid bleeding in the street.

And everyones a passerby
Never even stopped to try
No one rushed up to his side
No one offered any aid.

Is all we are just passerby
When trouble come we hide oureyes
So afraid for our own lives
That we don't want to see
That everyones a passerby

Homeless man walks through the night
Lost all he had what he's got he holds on tight
Four boys come and take his life
He dies at their feet

And everyones a passerby
Never even stopped to try
No one rushed up to his side
No one offered any aid.

Is all we are just passerby
When trouble come we hide our eyes
So afraid for our own lives
That we don't want to see
That everyones a passerby
That everyones a passerby
That everyones a passerby
That everyones a passerby
