Looking in from the Outside
There was a boy named Ryan once, he had the aids disease
They wouldn't let him back in school again, just to learn his ABC's
I saw a poor beggar once, wrapped in an old sheet
She stared deep into the restaurant just to watch the people eat
Looking in from the outside
What does it take to get inside?
When you're looking in from the outside
I knew some train surfers once, poverty-stricken in Brazil
They rode the roofs of the speeding trains into Rio for a thrill
Young boys with no TVs, no arcades to stop by
And in their lives of hopelessness, train surfers fall and die
Looking in from the outside
What does it take to get inside?
When you're looking in from the outside
There was a small child once, a victim of abuse
When they found her fighting for her life
Mom and dad had no excuse
Looking in from the outside
What does it take to get inside?
When you're looking in from the outside
When you're looking in from the outside
When you're looking in from the outside
They wouldn't let him back in school again, just to learn his ABC's
I saw a poor beggar once, wrapped in an old sheet
She stared deep into the restaurant just to watch the people eat
Looking in from the outside
What does it take to get inside?
When you're looking in from the outside
I knew some train surfers once, poverty-stricken in Brazil
They rode the roofs of the speeding trains into Rio for a thrill
Young boys with no TVs, no arcades to stop by
And in their lives of hopelessness, train surfers fall and die
Looking in from the outside
What does it take to get inside?
When you're looking in from the outside
There was a small child once, a victim of abuse
When they found her fighting for her life
Mom and dad had no excuse
Looking in from the outside
What does it take to get inside?
When you're looking in from the outside
When you're looking in from the outside
When you're looking in from the outside
