The old man trying to cross in front of me Is extremely hunched over While staring intently at him I realize he's got a bad leg Is his posture due to years of favoring his bad leg? Or did life not turn out how he'd planned And his twisted heart Twisted his spine as well? People at the crosswalk I am waiting for the light to change The person I was yesterday and the person I will be tomorrow Pass by before me today The woman walking briskly in front of me Is wearing an extremely short skirt I can't stop staring Wishing a strong breeze would blow If she caught me looking She'd probably glare at me "I'm wearing this for myself," she'd say "I'm not trying to get anyone's attention" People at the crosswalk I am gripping the wheel as I watch you The person I was yesterday and the person I will be tomorrow Pass by before me today An irritated mother grabs the hand Of a son who refuses to listen "You already have so many!" She raises her voice in front of the toy store What he wants is not toys but love And her resistance is love, too, teaching him patience Their tears and anger, with no regard for those around them Are how they show their love for each other People at the crosswalk I am watching you through my windshield The person I was yesterday and the person I will be tomorrow Pass by before me today A boy walks by with a guitar case Talking cheerfully with his friends Are they talking about music? Or the girls they like? Are you going to change the future with that guitar? If so, then let me be your friend I don't want to grow old Thinking I know everything there is to know People at the crosswalk I am waiting for the light to change The person I was yesterday and the person I will be tomorrow Pass by before me today The person I was yesterday and the person I will be tomorrow Pass by before me today
