The Wanderer's Lament

[Verse 1] In the city streets I roam But I don't belong A wanderer of lost dreams Singing my songs Got no place to call my own No roots to hold me down Just a soul searching for meaning In this concrete town [Chorus] I'm a man who does not live Just a shadow in the night Drifting through this lonely world Searching for the light No ties to bind me No place to call my own Oh I'm a wanderer Forever on my own [Verse 2] I've seen the bright city lights But they don't shine for me Caught in the rat race Feeling like a refugee I long for open fields The freedom of the wild But I'm caught in this modern cage Just a lost child [Verse] I've seen the bright city lights But they don't shine for me Caught in the rat race Feeling like a refugee I long for open fields The freedom of the wild But I'm caught in this modern cage Just a lost child [Chorus] I'm a man who does not live Just a shadow in the night Drifting through this lonely world Searching for the light No ties to bind me No place to call my own Oh I'm a wanderer Forever on my own [outro] [fading music] Oh I'm a wanderer Forever on my own
