Every night before I go to sleep
I listen long to the bustling streets
and I wonder how long
I'm gonna settle
Oh I'm gonna settle
They raised me up on brick and bread
Concrete jungle, no room your head
And I wonder how long
I'm gonna settle
I'm gonna settle
My momma was told by them
and my daddy he was told by them
Oh man, won't you be the one
to help me understand
No answer, just waiting
Anticipating why
A little patch way up in the sky
says that you could leave here
anytime you'd like
and I wonder how long
I'm gonna settle
How long I'm gonna settle
How long I'm gonna settle
