A lonely soul in the confines of the city
Every face, every woman and man dreams
They can escape from the pace of woe and pity
Free from temptation and sticking to plan
It doesn't matter that it all comes from the planet
The common cause apprehending the land
We want it but a life with nothing in it
Fill up our cups through expensive demand
Keep dreaming of fast cars and fast romances
The world will turn long after your gone
Our mother's known for dishing out second chances
Falling on deaf ears now you're on your own
I pity you in your sad state of affairs
I pity me for not stopping you from getting there
And so I hold on to things that really matter
I confess that we're happier with less
I turned and faced in the hard times of the city
I met the maker and she's helping me out
I meditate but it don't do nothing for
Anticipation is the only way out
I turned and faced in the dark times of the city
I met the maker and she's helping me out
I meditate but it don't do nothing for me
Self deprivation is just wearing you out
I turned and faced in the dark times of the city
I met the maker and she's helping me out
I meditate but it don't do nothing for me
Emancipation of the soul as it shouts
I turned and faced in the dark times of the city
I met the maker and she's helping me out
I meditate but it don't do nothing for me
Anticipation is the only way out
