Sleeps through the day, awake in the night,
To brighten and shine, is their delight.

A few may seem, like they're missing their sheen,
Right in the city, it's where they have been.

Go through the day, mostly unnoticed,
Right in your face, I'll give you focus.

Over the streets, you will see my feats,
Under the sky, you will see me lie.

Not fat and round, I'm bound on the ground,
Dawn upon us, I wait for the bus.

What am I?

Title: Don't Stop Believing

Part of the lyrics of the song are

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights, people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night
