[Verse 1]

I met a man named Byron Black

And he carried his life strapped to his back

On a sidewalk in Houston he called home

Crying: "Don't you forget me"

He said: "Don't you forget me"

[Pre-Chorus]

You don't know what it's like to walk alone

You don't know and I hope you never will

[Chorus]

Every stride wears the soul more thin

'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing

Every stride wears the soul more thin

'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing

[Post-Chorus]

And what can I do now?

[Verse 2]

Faces of people he would see

They were colder than any city street

And the days go on and on and they just walk by

He said: "I'm disappearing"

He said: "I'm disappearing"

[Pre-Chorus]

You don't know what it's like to walk alone

You don't know and I hope you never will

[Chorus]

Every stride wears the soul more thin

'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing

Every stride wears the soul more thin

'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing

[Verse 3]

And we all were given names

But our hearts don't work the same

By-products of evolution

Lost souls looking for a lost solution now

[Bridge]

(Every stride wears the soul more thin)

('Til it's slowly worn down to nothing)

[Chorus]

Every stride wears the soul more thin

'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing

Every stride wears the soul more thin

'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing

[Outro]

Every stride wears the soul more thin

(And I want to know where the lost souls go)

'Til it's slowly worn down to nothing

(And if we're all all alone then we are nothing)

No!
