Before all of this ever went down
In another place, another town,
You were just a face in the crowd
Out in t he street walking around
A face in the crowd
Out of a dream, out of the sky
Into my heart, into my life
And you were just a face in the crowd
Out in the street, thinking out loud
A face in the crowd
Our star doesn’t know who he is any
More. is he the starmaker, the image
Maker, looking for material or is he
Just plain boring little norman after
All? perhaps he should accept that he
Is a plain ordinary bloke and not try to
Be something he is not.
(a) face in the crowd
I’ve got to stop faking it,
I’ve got to start facing it,
I’m going to take my final bow
Then i’m going to take my place in the crowd.
I know i’ll get used to it,
I’ve got to stop acting like a clown.
I’ve gotta start facing up to what i really am.
I’ve got to realise l’m just an ordinary man.
I think that i’ll just settle down
And take my place in the crowd.
I don’t want to lie to myself any more.
Am i just a face in the crowd, is that all i’ll ever be?
Don’t want to be anything that isn’t really me.
Mister, can you tell me who i am?
Do you think i stand out
Or am i just a face in the crowd?
Life is a struggle
Baby you got to choose
Hear the call of the wild wind
What have you got to lose
So take off that coat and kick off those crazy shoes
I can see by your smile that you’re ready
Well i’m ready too
Oh life is a puzzle
Baby you’ve got to try
But don’t let it get you
Don’t let it pass you by
‘cos here and now darling
Here and now you got me
And something inside me tells me it’s meant to be
Will it be alright
I’m getting a message from someone
Will it turn out right
It’s not just a face in the crowd
It’s not just a face in the crowd
Face in the crowd
Will it be alright
I’m getting a message from someone
Will it turn out right
It’s not just a face in the crowd
It’s not just a face in the crowd
Face in the crowd
Life is a struggle
Baby you got to choose
Hear the call of the wild wind
What have you got to lose
So take off that coat and kick off those crazy shoes
I can see by your smile that you’re ready
Well i’m ready too
So just close your eyes
I’m getting a message from someone
Through a clear blue sky
It’s not just a face in the crowd
It’s not just a face in the crowd
Face in the crowd
