"Walking By Beauty" lyrics

It was a cold New York morning
On that packed Subway platform
When he opened his case up
He pulled out his violin
And he played some Mozart
He gave it his whole heart
When he got to the best part
He opened his eyes
And they just passed him by
They went on their way
Walking by beauty
Walking by beauty all day

There were kids with their iPods
Bankers on cell phones
Talking and texting
While that sweet music played
Caught up in their own lives
Lost in their own minds
Couldn't stop to throw one dime
In his red velvet case
Oh, they just passed him by
Like he was in the way
Walking by beauty
Walking by beauty all day

There's beauty in places
Where you least expect it
Like a bright yellow daisy
Growing up through the pavement
If we don't see the sunrise
Right outside our windows
It just makes me wonder
What else are we missing

Well, he packed up that violin
Worth 3.5 millon
And got on the next train
To Carnegie Hall
And he played that same Mozart
He tore out the crowd's heart
When he got to the best part
There were tears in their eyes
And he just had to smile
How much they were paying
To hear him that night
While they were walking by beauty all day
Open your eyes
Cause your walking by beauty all day
What else are we missing
Walking by beauty all day
