0:06I heard some music being played today
0:10I heard a song but the words were wrong
0:14It didn't matter to me anyway
0:18Some people really don't care what they say
0:24I started looking to the sky today
0:28'Cause it's so big and it's so far away
0:32I've got too many things inside my head
0:36I wish that I could be up there instead
0:40No one is meant to be
0:44Living here in a concrete sea
0:48Everyone
0:50Including me
0:53Wishes he could be set free
0:59And then I looked into the ocean blue
1:03'Cause it's so deep and it's so quiet too
1:07There's just too many people everywhere
1:11I wish that I was down there
1:16No one is meant to be
1:20Living here in a concrete sea
1:24Everyone
1:25Including me
1:28Wishes he could be set free
1:33I heard a story being told today
1:36About a man and just how he got away
1:40You got to leave the things you grow up for
1:45Turn your head and start to swim for shore
1:49No one is meant to be
1:53Living here in a concrete sea
1:57Everyone
1:58Including me
2:01Wishes he could be set free
2:05No one is meant to be
2:08Living here in a concrete sea
2:13Everyone
2:14Including me
2:15Wishes he could be set free
