      Em                            A  
      A thousand cities in the      night  
      Each one waitin' for the      light  
      Ten million people plan their day  
      As the sun still burns      a-way

      As the Earth just spins in    space  
      People plan their daily       race  
      As the sun still burns      a-way  
      Few say thank you for the     day

      All the people in their        ties  
      Forget to look up at the       sky  
      They exist another             day  
      As the sun still burns         a-way  
      Em                              A  
      I wonder just how long we'll    last  
      When the final die is           cast  
      Every day brings forth the      time  
      When the sun forgets to         shine
