lyrics

I met a savior at the bus stop

She said she'd lost her faith in God

A man sitting next to her

Said it really doesn't matter

You still are who you are.

She said she was a poet

But stopped writing

She had nothing more to say.

He said he was a painter

But stopped painting

When all his colors turned to gray.

Come and wake the world from its slumber!

Come and shake us from our beds!

We would follow if someone led

Next to me there sat an actor

Crying to himself, sad and alone.

He said he'd played so many roles

None of which he chose

And now he'd forgotten his own

I said savior have you no wisdom

To offer us before you go?

She just smiled and shook her head

Looked me in the eye and softly said

I don't know, I don't know.

Cause I tried to wake the world from its slumber

I tried to shake us from our beds

I tried to break this spell we're under

But no one followed where I led

So if you see a savior at the bus stop

Don't expect too much

She’s probably got a broken heart

This world can be so hard

Seems even saviors have it rough
