Concrete Sea

  • I heard some music being played today
    I heard a song but the words were wrong
    It didn't matter to me anyway
    Some people really don't care what they say

    I started looking to the sky today
    'Cause it's so big and it's so far away
    I've got too many things inside my head
    I wish that I could be up there instead

    No one is meant to be
    Living here in a concrete sea
    Everyone, including me
    Wishes he could be set free

    And then I looked into the ocean blue
    'Cause it's so deep and it's so quiet too
    There's just too many people everywhere
    I wish that I was down there

    No one is meant to be
    Living here in a concrete sea
    Everyone, including me
    Wishes he could be set free

    I heard a story being told today
    About a man and just how he got away
    You got to leave the things you grow up for
    Turn your head and start to swim for shore

    No one is meant to be
    Living here in a concrete sea
    Everyone, including me
    Wishes he could be set free

    No one is meant to be
    Living here in a concrete sea
    Everyone, including me
    Wishes he could be set free Writer/s: Terry Jacks
