I can see the world changing I can see it re-arranging Happening before my very eyes Everywhere the cement's growing In the street the traffic's flowing Ruining the air up in the sky Is it no surprise? I want to get away and live my life In the rivers and trees I want to spend the days making wine And be free, and be free I can hear the cities calling Come and hide, I fear you falling Beckoning for all of us to see See the deepening cement hollow Reaching out for those who follow Hunkering on far too many lies Is it no surprise? I want to get away and live my life In the rivers and trees I want to spend the days making wine And be free, and be free, and be free From the winds of thought I've had an inner vision I've seen the universe unfold I can hear the school bell ringing From the yard the children singing Merrily life is but a dream In the streets their older brothers Selling drugs and shit to others Aiding those who's songs have turned to crys Is it no surprise? I want to get away and live my life In the rivers and trees I want to spend the days making wine And be free, and be free, and be free
