Lyrics Subway Stars - Bro

Early morning on the A-Train line
There's a painter hauling cans at half-past nine
She's got colors in her pockets and dust in her shoes
And eyes that look like they've paid some dues

Couple seats down, there's a Wall Street man
Suit too tight, no life in his hands
He's mumbling numbers to the beat of the track
Like he's searching for something he'll never get back

Oh, faces in the crowd, they rise and fall
Through sleepless nights and concrete walls
They chase their dreams and hide their scars
Lighting the dark like subway stars
With hearts worn down, yet standing proud
They are the soul of this restless town

Down by the river in a ragged coat
Old blues singer with a rusty throat
He's playing for change, but he's got no shame
There's a fire in his eyes, and it burns like a flame

Across the street, a preacher's standing tall
Bible in his hand, giving it his all
Says, "God's got a plan," but the crowd moves fast
Some listen, some laugh, they all walk past

Oh, faces in the crowd, they rise and fall
Through sleepless nights and concrete walls
They chase their dreams and hide their scars
Lighting the dark like subway stars
With hearts worn down, yet standing proud
They are the soul of this restless town

Late-night glow in a downtown bar
She's the voice on the airwaves, a local star
She laughs with the band, her guard let down
In this quiet place, she wears no crown

Joe's at the bar, where he's worked for years
Mixed dreams, spilled hopes, collected tears
He pours with grace, his gaze kept low
In a town where saints and sinners flow

Oh, faces in the crowd, they rise and fall
Through sleepless nights and concrete walls
They chase their dreams and hide their scars
Lighting the dark like subway stars
With hearts worn down, yet standing proud
They are the soul of this restless town

So here's to the faces I meet each day
The broken, the brave, the ones who stay
Each corner breathes, each sidewalk sighs
With the grit and grace in every eye

They're the poets, the fighters, the ones who try
In a city that never says goodbye
And as long as they're here, this town stands proud
With the restless hum of faces in the crowd
