The girl looks out from the window of the airplane
20,000 feet up in the sky
She picks a rooftop in the middle of the town
And wonders what is happening inside

The TV in the kitchen flashes faces
The woman slowly pushes in the chairs
Her neighbors son is fighting in the army
She's concentrating to remember where

Who can know the pain, the joy, the regret, the satisfaction
Who can know the love of one life, one heart, one soul
At two, you're at abstraction

The man is waiting for the bus into the city
He's grabs a drink and slowly reads the Times
His heart is captured by the story of a child
Around the world they're always on his mind

Who can know the pain, the joy, the regret, the satisfaction
Who can know the love of one life, one heart, one soul
At two you're at abstraction

Who can know the love of one life, one heart, one soul
At two, you're at abstraction

Who can know the pain, the joy, the regret, the satisfaction
Who can know the love of one life, one heart, one soul
At two, you're at abstraction

A million this, a million that
Mass sums of individuals
A million here, a million there
Made up by the million souls

A million this, a million that
Mass sums of individuals
A million here, a million there
Made up by the million souls

A million here, a million there
A million here, a million there
A million here, a million there
