Everybody says that they're looking for a shelter Got a lot to give But I don't know how to help her I should just let it go 'Til they learn how to grow And how to liberate Everybody says that she's looking for a shelter Got a lot to give But I don't know how I felt her They should just let it go Till these cities learn to grow And how to liberate [Chorus] Silence is easy It just becomes me You don't even know me You all lie about me Everybody says that I'm looking for a home now Looking for a boy or I'm looking for a girl now But I can still let it go I can still learn to grow Into a child again [Chorus: x4]
