A Face In The Crowd

If you're down and confused And you think that you've been used And you're only a face in the crowd Well, I know how that feels No one hears your appeals In a moment For crying out loud When you started, then you stuttered From the penthouse to the gutter Though they're usually found the other way round When you're only a face in the crowd. You're only a face in the crowd. If you're tired and you're stooped And you think that you've been duped And you're only a face in the crowd When you feel put-upon, I'll be your champion. Cause you're angry, and I feel it too. When they've broken you, forsaken you, They've taken you for granted When your voice can't be heard, And you can't find the words, I will help you, and I will be there. You're more than a face in the crowd. You'll be strong, restore your pride. Take my hand; I'll take your side. If you can just decide You're more than a face You're more than a face You're more than a face In the crowd.
