Statues Lyrics

There's a boy across the street

He's just trying to find his way

Coming over to my house

I see him every day

His mum and dad are busy

They never have the time

To listen to his feelings

What's playing on his mind



All the children stand like statues

On the street where I was born

It's a street where nothing changes

But the road where I come from

Now the cherry blossom's falling

And the nights are drawing in

Oh, I'm standing here, I'm frozen

As the world goes 'round again



The playground bell keeps ringing

A moving van appears

A change about to happen

That we haven't seen for years

A family's moving in

I never thought I'd see

On the street where nothing changes

A girl that looks like me

I watch her from across the street

I don't know what to say

Time will tell if we'll be friends

But that's another day



All the children stand like statues

On the street where I was born

It's a street where nothing changes

But the road where I come from

Now the cherry blossom's falling

And the nights are drawing in

Oh, I'm standing here, I'm frozen

As the world goes 'round again



Don't change nothing at all

Street lights lead me back home

Am I dreaming?

Is it morning?

Am I still here?

Am I gone?



All the children stand like statues

On the street where I was born

It's a street where nothing changes

But the road where I come from

Now the cherry blossom's falling

And the nights are drawing in

Oh, I'm standing here, I'm frozen

As the world goes 'round again



Now the cherry blossom's falling

And the nights are drawing in

Oh, I'm standing here, I'm frozen

As the world goes 'round again



And we all go 'round again
