lyrics

shufflin' thorugh these busy city streets
filthy sidewalks lined with defeat
these people you know, they don't seem all too glad
in their eyes there's music, but it sure does sound sad

I take it in, I let it out, and I repeat
oh lord, this place sure does have me beat

if you know,
if you know the answer
please don't keep,
don't keep it all to yourself
we all need,
we all need the answer.
we all need,
we all need everybody else

I met a woman outside, some might say she was spent
she said that the voices in her head
can't help her to pay all the rent
she told me they've poisoned all of the rivers and streams
she'd rather be sleeping,
she sees no police in her dreams

I took it in, I let it out,
acknowledgement,
and I told her I knew
what she meant
yeah, I told her I knew
what she meant

praises be lifted on high
there but for the grace of god go I

if you know,
if you know the answer,
please don't keep,
please don't keep it all to yourself.
we all need,
we all need the answer.
we all need,
we all need everybody else

we all need
