about

A song about finding yourself and your voice in unfamiliar places. And recognizing that what you have to say, be and live like means something.

lyrics

Heard about it,
For a long, long time.
He took his chances and packed his bags,
For the open wide.

When he found it,
The city met the sky.
Light bent ‘round corners and voices stretched,
For miles and miles.

So happy he could be,
If only he would speak,
But the words, they never came.
What would they say? What would they…say?

On your own in the City of Sound,
Your breath fogs up the glass that won’t let you out.
Make your way, to yourself today
In the city, the city, the city…of sound.

Still he stumbled back,
To the doubts he dropped like breadcrumbs.
But the city called harder and harder, he
Didn’t need to run.

So happy he could be,
If only he would speak,
But the words, they never came.
What would they say? What would they…say?

On your own in the City of Sound,
Your breath fogs up the glass that won’t let you out.
Make your way, to yourself today
In the city, the city, the city…of sound.

Been alone too long, days have come and gone.
Here the sun still hangs, until he says when.
Oh and then he sang…

On your own in the City of Sound
On your own in the city…..
On your own in the City of Sound
Your breath fogs up the glass that won’t let you out.
Make your way, to yourself today
In the city, the city, the city (x3)…of sound.

Thank you
