Hello sir, would you please explain to me
I'm new to this country, you see
And I want to know why I feel so lonely
In a city so big I feel lack of privacy
I explained to him this place is stagnant
The times have changed but the people haven't
And I guess that's just the way they'll have it
So long as they aren't the ones who have to save it
A change in countenance came over him
Echoed by the silence of the city taking a breath
Trying to recall the reason for its existence
And then a look of resistance
No, no he said you've got it all wrong
These people react to change like a bang of a gong
Ever person here feels like they belong
I just have to wait for mine, it won't be long
Wait he did for seventeen years
Each day went by like he was counting his fears
I could feel his pain from seventeen feet away
Why did he choose here to arrive and stay?
I left him in the city like the others until it picked him up
A systematic replacement of parts
A life not wanted until he stayed too long
Such is a fate of so many a restless soul
Why couldn't they see the road I paved for them?
