The Hitchhiker
Standing next to the road
Waiting there alongside
Standing in the cold
Waiting to be offered a ride
Why did I drive by?
And didn't save his night
Never got to meet the guy
Maybe he could've changed my life
He's just standing
Standing and waiting over there
He's just standing
Standing and waiting over there
He's just standing
Standing and waiting over there
The hitchhiker
Blisters on his feet
Numb in that blistering cold
Denying his defeat
He has got to hold
On! To this dream he lives
Got that desire to burn
Eternal wait but he still believes
From the ashes he will return
He's just burning
Burning and waiting over there
He's just burning
Burning and waiting over there
He's just burning
Burning and waiting over there
The hitchhiker
Finally someone stops
And he's shining out of grace
Not only delivering him a ride
But also a smile on his face
And even I am thankful
Out of regret I drove home
Now he's smiling along
But I could've been that one
He's just smiling
Smiling and waiting in there
He's just smiling
Smiling and waiting in there
He's just smiling
Smiling and waiting in there
The hitchhiker
Waiting there alongside
Standing in the cold
Waiting to be offered a ride
Why did I drive by?
And didn't save his night
Never got to meet the guy
Maybe he could've changed my life
He's just standing
Standing and waiting over there
He's just standing
Standing and waiting over there
He's just standing
Standing and waiting over there
The hitchhiker
Blisters on his feet
Numb in that blistering cold
Denying his defeat
He has got to hold
On! To this dream he lives
Got that desire to burn
Eternal wait but he still believes
From the ashes he will return
He's just burning
Burning and waiting over there
He's just burning
Burning and waiting over there
He's just burning
Burning and waiting over there
The hitchhiker
Finally someone stops
And he's shining out of grace
Not only delivering him a ride
But also a smile on his face
And even I am thankful
Out of regret I drove home
Now he's smiling along
But I could've been that one
He's just smiling
Smiling and waiting in there
He's just smiling
Smiling and waiting in there
He's just smiling
Smiling and waiting in there
The hitchhiker
