A nameless man always wanders around the courtsquare
In this little town people watch and wonder
But only for a second and then they move on

His mind wanders to times when he was young
Times when he was happy
Times when he still knew his family

It's been years since he has talked to them
Life feels so bleak to him today
The same as yesterday

There are better times ahead
He knows it in his heart
Cloudy skies will give way
And better times will come

Others walk in and out of the courthouse
Some will have a good day dressed in Armani
Others are there to mourn while seeking justice
Yet others are having their day in court
Their lives resting in the hands of people they don’t know

Our nameless man stays on the outside
Good or bad, he has no reason to go in
He watches others who look at him like he’s in a cage
But the only cage is the one surrounding their minds

There are better times ahead
He knows it in his heart
Cloudy skies will give way
And better times will come

The others have all gone home now
Wherever that may be
It’s getting dark and cold outside
Our man seeks warmth on the cement inside a doorway

He has been long forgotten by those who saw him today
They have moved on to lives of family and comfort
Many will see him again tomorrow
And think that he looks familiar
Yet they will glance only for a moment
And then quickly forget the nameless man

He doesn't forget them though
They're all he has and he remembers them one by one
How they walk and what they wear
The color of their hair

He'll spend the night in restless comfort
Remembering those he knows
Tomorrow will be more of the same
But that's just the way it is for the nameless man

There are better times ahead
He knows it in his heart
Cloudy skies will give way
And better times will come
