lyrics

when you're feeling down, down down in the city
just get your head up, up, up in the clouds
take a good look around,
no it ain't so bad
don't be sad
be glad

*

it's like a jungle out here, makes me wonder how I keep from going under
like a jungle out here, makes me wonder how I'm ever gonna slumber
no name just another number, footsteps rain like all day thunder
in servitude gotta keep earnin, get streetwise get busy learnin

stop! come awake to the moment
look! you won't fail to notice
listen to the city both day and night,
yes it's a mess but it's yours and it's mine
so arise and design on this grey canvas
jump and jive in the playground around us
found our place in the high life
so come, freerun with me into the limelight

keep your eyes to the ground as you take steps
as grass shoots up thru cracks in pavements
hear traffic jams and street talk
smells play chase as we walk
pick a little litter for my urban mosaic
it's not dirty disorder, it's beautiful chaos
and I'm lifted, not to fly away
but to surf these clouds and sky-scrape
sing city blues with nothing to lose
in her open arms I can finally snooze
