Passing parade life rushes by, rushes by

Anonymous in this crowd I am faced with
And I prefer that way
Completely unrehearsed

Making eye contact seems so taboo
Taking a soul is a cruel thing to do

Recognize everyone knows their part in the play
Recognize everyone knows their part in the play
Recognize everyone chose their part in this play

No words no lending ears
Charade life rushes by
Too busy too intrusive
I keep my eyes averted

How many strangers meet your eyes
How many strangers do you recognize
In this faceless crowd
Barely moving

Silent stalking preoccupied
Often concerned with how things will go down

Days months and even years passing by
How many strangers meet your eyes
How many faces do you

Recognize everyone knows their part in the play
Recognize everyone knows their part in the play
Recognize everyone knows their part in the play
Recognize everyone chose their part in this play

How would we know?

Passing parade life rushes by, rushes by
