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
