Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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?
[Verse 4]
No answer, just waiting
Anticipating, why?
[Verse 5]
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
