"All These People"
(Harry Connick, Jr.)

I never saw nothing like that before in my life.
Mmmmmm

I hope I never see it again.

There were all these people, ohhh, just waitin there
There were all these people, ohhh, just waitin there for someone
But nobody came, nobody saw
'cause nobody wanted to go that far
There were all these people, ohhh, waitin there
Yeah

I was so damn scared I held hands with the crazy man
I was so damn scared I held hands and wound up with the crazy man
But he wasn't crazy and I wasn't scared
We were just brothers, just stood there and stared
At all those people waiting there
Mm hmm

Well the first two people we saw left the way they came
I grabbed my brothers hand neither one of us could barely stand the shame
The two of them, the two of us
Dying in water, livin in dust
So were all those people waiting there
Yeaahh, alright

Well the guide that showed me home, was but a strangers hand -strangers hand
And I carried on unknown, just for the soul of a countryman
I never knew him, and I never stayed
I ain't gonna leave him and now that we prayed
For all those people waiting there
Mmm hmmmm
This is for all those people

Well, the next time I went down there was no one there
And I wondered if my brother had finally found some peace of mind
One day a stranger, one day my kin
I'd probably never see him again
Just like all those people waiting there
