Today I took it to the streets,
The carwash, where it all comes down.
I stood there under an amazing sky,
not knowing why I took it to the streets.

I felt the beat, the throb of the mob fall away.
Under a sky for only today.
The carwash, where I found a friend.
Young man wise and full of joy.
Wiping down my car, his employ.

Today I took it to the streets.
No wonder it felt so sweet, so sweet.
My eyes met his and the wizardry of
life begin to melt the gap in the beat.
Today is only where two souls can meet.
