I Hear The Call
(Joe Pereira)
I try to lift my hopes and views
I try to see above the dirt
the latest trend in this cold city
keeps on bringing me down to earth
grey and cloudy skies are getting me down
don’t know how long I’ll stay afloat
if I don’t swim away I’ll drown
I hear the call, it’s loud and clear
I know the time is getting near
I hear the call, it’s loud and clear
I tried to tell myself for so long
this is the only place to be
the centre of my world was once
the place that used to set me free
now I feel I have to write a song
about being forgotten and made to feel
as if I don’t belong
I must look back to where I’ve been
must find another place to go
I feel I’m driving down a never-ending highway
with nowhere to go
and in the rear view mirror
the image on the glass reminds me
of the only place I know
