Diamond Rio Walking By Beauty
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 old song
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
They were kids with their Ipod's
Bankers on cell phones
Talking and texting
While that sweet music played
Caught up in their own lives
Lost in their own minds
For to 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
Cause 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 from outside our windows
It just makes me wonder what else are we missing
Well they packed up that violin worth 3.5 million
And got on the next train to Carnegie Hall
And he played that same old song
He tore out the crowds 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 you're walking by beauty all day
