lyrics

I took the wrong bus this morning
The same bus as every day
A gloomy Wednesday morning
The streets were wet with rain

He got on at the next stop
Spewing bigotry and hate
Ugly words about foreigners
The riders looked the other way

Stand by in silence or speak up and shout
I search for the words but nothing comes out
Make a stand or look away
I search for words - don’t know what to say

She stood there with her baby
Trying not to cry
No one else said anything
No one else even tried

I want to help, to rescue her
I want to fight the good fight
And while I’m sitting and dreaming
Another woman’s by her side

She said what lousy weather
And she asked the baby’s age
And as they talked together
The man turned and walked away

I sat at my desk dying slowly
The shame stuck between my teeth
And all I can ask myself is
Why wasn’t it me? Why wasn’t it me?
