The City Lyrics by Badlanguage

2020

I came to the city with hopes of being alive a little more than I was
Get a job, settle down, maybe meet someone I like like everybody else

But it was not for me
No, not back then, not even now
I learned how to think for myself and to be free

Keep my ears to the ground to listen out for a sign that you are here with me now
Walk your streets to a beat that you customised for me
That's why I moved from a town

Cos it was not for me
No, not back then, not even now
I learned how to think for myself and to be free from a place where the people were closing their eyes when I'm opening mine

That's why I came to you
So I can get a sense of what to do
And when I find my way I promise you I'll tell you all my biggest secrets; how I'm defeated every day on Earth
Another challenge comes my way
I learn to live and love another day
I turn to you to thank you for my freedom
I'm undefeated

Countless (countless) dreams about the world ending
Waking (waking) up to find I'm not pretending

Cos it was not for me
No, not back then, not even now
I learned how to think for myself and to be free from a place where the people were closing their eyes when I'm opening mine

That's why I came to you
So I can get a sense of what to do
And when I find my way I promise you I'll tell you all my biggest secrets; how I'm defeated every day on Earth
Another challenge comes my way
I learn to live and love another day
I turn to you to thank you for my freedom
I'm undefeated
