I'm just as scared and hungry
             as everybody else.
Say it out aloud,
             no longer need for stealth.


Keep it all inside,
             never say it out aloud.
All the desperate and the lonely
             are lost inside the crowd.


All the men and all the women
             are happy in their way.
Smiling faces tell you that,
             it's just another day.

                                              
But deep inside it's all the same,
             no-one ever said they cared.
Every human drawing breath
             is hungry, cold and scared.
