Lyric

A cat in the alley, stopping in its track

Looks right through me, and I look right back

With innocent eyes, piercing through the gray

It feels like a friend in a strange, quiet way

My heavy heart lightens, the pain starts to fade

A mirror of the life that we both have made

I know I can’t protect all that I see

Can’t save every soul that stands next to me

I try to reach out, but I’m lost in the fray

Reaching for one hand to help find the way

I compare my life to the cat on the street

Two lonely souls in a quiet retreat

Wandering for love, with a heart on the run

We’re not so different, though the paths aren’t one

I sigh to the silence, as the days slip by

Living in the lonely, beneath the open sky

Walking on, the cat looks up at the height

Watching the sky with a gaze pure and bright

The vast blue is teaching my heart how to sway

It whispers, "I’m here," in its own silent way

I don’t trust everyone, not all that I meet

But I hold onto one hand, making life complete

I know I can’t protect all that I see

Can’t save every soul that stands next to me

I try to reach out, but I’m lost in the fray

Reaching for one hand to help find the way

Comparing our lives, where we stand and where we go

Unseen values are the things we’ll never know

Chasing love and dreams, stitching pieces in a row

Anxious nights are filling, with tears that overflow

I compare my life to the cat on the street

Two lonely souls in a quiet retreat

Wandering for love, with a heart on the run

We’re not so different, though the paths aren’t one

I sigh to the silence, as the days slip by

Anxious nights are filling, with tears that overflow
