City Life

I claim to be this person, Not selfish not greedy well that's not me, it's hard to be I'd hate to be mistaken for someone not Needy, well that's just me, it's hard to see I close my eyes in dust bowls called city life I wonder why we live here and why we haven't left I close my eyes in narrow lanes and pigsty I Wonder why I can't see the sky and all the stars While we all chase the love We all chase the cars We all chase the good life with broken Hearts I can sing to the clouds, sing to the rain It won't mean a thing in these packed trains I close my eyes to begging kids and their cries I Wonder why I can't see the stone that I've become I close my eyes to honey bees and butterflies I Wonder why they fell trees and how they aim to breathe While we all chase the love We all chase the cars We all chase the good life with broken hearts I can sing to the clouds, sing to the rain It won't mean a thing in these packed trains I claim to be this person, Not selfish not greedy well that's not me, it's hard to be.
