Observation from seeing the kids that think that escaping home for the bright lights will make their lives better, when home is not the problem, just the limitations in their heads.
Lyrics
Hello Londoncccc1.ccYou walk the streets of London; you walked their crooked mileccYou came in search of comfort they saw danger in your smileccYou walk into a sad cafe and sit your body downcccYou sip your coffee while you’re drinking in the townccGirl in the corner with your hair hanging downccYou look around you but you don’t know where you’re boundccSo many lonely people, in a stranger’s paradiseccSo many bursting hearts that dare not break the iceccAll cryingccccChorus:ccHere I am, hello London, ccHere I am, hey this is meccHere I am, I’m not just a numberccI’m a freeborn spirit and I’m just trying to be freecccc2.ccPeople selling faces and people selling styleccPeople selling people up and down that crooked mileccTrying to make their fortunes where the street are made of goldccBut streets, like hearts, are made of stone and so they sell their soulsccGirl in the corner, where do you go from here?ccYou had a vision girl but now its not so clearccYou leave the sad cafe and walk the undergroundccSeeing people talking with their eyes who dare not make a soundccAll cryingccccChorus:cccc3.ccSurface at a station girl and take the train for homeccDon’t wait for sharks to catch you or they’ll strip you to the boneccAnd don’t you hide behind your pride, don’t take this as defeatccWhen you set foot outside your door, this city had you beatccYou can’t blame bricks and mortar and you can’t blame London TownccIt’s in the sea of people that people swim or drownccSo many lonely people, in a stranger’s paradiseccSo many bursting hearts that dare not break the iceccAll cryingccccChorus:
