I stood in the sun
I stood in the rain
I sang out my joy
I sang out my pain
I stood in the crowd
I sang here alone
Echoing off buildings and cobblestone

Another busy day in Boston scene
The streets are dirty but I’m singing my soul clean
Soundtrack to a city stroll
Free food for an empty bowl
Churning out pearls so you’ll give gold to me

I stood in the sun
I stood in the rain
I sang out my joy
I sang out my pain
I stood in the crowd
I sang here alone
Echoing off buildings and cobblestone
So many more people will walk on by
So many more towers will pierce the skyline
For a nickel or a dime, a minute of your time
I’ll share my life with you

Can I be a fearless diva?
From Harvard Square to Faneuil Hall
Can you feel my pure intention?
Build the peace and demo the walls

I stood in the sun
I stood in the rain
I sang out my joy
I sang out my pain
I stood in the crowd
I sang here alone
Echoing off buildings and cobblestone
So many more people will walk on by
So many more towers will pierce the skyline
For a nickel or a dime, a minute of your time
I’ll share my life with you
