Every night before I go to sleep

I listen long to the bustling streets

And I wonder how long I'm gonna settle

Oh, I'm gonna settle

They raised me up on brick and bread

Concrete jungle, no room in your head

And I wonder how long I'm gonna settle

I'm gonna settle

My mama was told by them

And my daddy, he was told by them

Oh man, won't you be the one

To help me understand?

No answer, just waiting

Anticipating, why?

A little patch way up in the sky

It says, you could leave here anytime you like

And I wonder how long I'm gonna settle

How long I'm gonna settle

How long I'm gonna settle
