Lyrics Terry Jacks

Terry Jacks

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
