Get Closer Now
I always wished to be around ; My brother’s kids as they become ; Young folks to gaze at ; And to be proud ; To know that life will stick around ; Through all the rights and wrongs that we’ve sustained forever ; But here we are so far from that ; Lately I began to wonder ; What’s there for me around this town? ; Whose skyline shape seem like forever growing monsters ; It gets me down, so down; And for the first time ; Thoughts grow and roam ; And get closer now to where I’m from ; I look at the faces that I’ve known since ; My younger days and let them see ; That I now understand the meaning of relations ; And get closer then to who I am; Lately I began to wonder ; What’s there for me around this town? ; Whose skyline shape seem like forever growing monsters ; It gets me down, so down ; And weirder scenes appear in my dreams ; And when I wake up they never stop ; The million people I pass by have blinded faces ; It gets me down, So down ; Wish I was closer ; To life;
