A Million Different Worlds

A young man's gonna tell his folks the truth tonight
 They'll put their hopes for grandkids in a box with all their fears
 A college girl's gonna take her hardest test tonight
 A thin blue line will bring the news, confirming all her tears
 And someone just got hired for a million dollar bonus
 And someone's leaving home for somewhere safe
 And someone just got fired and he's got to tell his children
 That the little things they need, they're gonna have to wait
 A million different worlds going on around us
 A hundred different choices every moment of the day
 A million different worlds going on around us
 What's your today
 A boy in Massachusetts' going back to boarding school today
 He doesn't want his dad to know he's scared
 A white haired woman prays for the daughter that she raised
 Making deals with God to get her spared
 And someone just got rescued from the fire that took their home
 And someone just got back her S.A.T.s
 Someone's making someone else feel better in the dark
 And someone found a way to make that little baby breathe
 A million different worlds...
 Seems everybody's got a choice at how they're gonna live their lives
 They're lucky or they're victims or they're blessed
 And I guess it's easier by far to miss the wisdom where you are
 And think you'd like to trade with all the rest
 Well they might trade with you... Just as fast
 Someone's getting married in the morning
 And someone's finally putting down those cigarettes for sure
 Someone's taking his first day off in 47 working years
 And someone's got a prom date, if he will only ask her
 A million different worlds...
