Can't Live Without


Tall buildings surround me

Horizon of fog

 

I can’t live without thee

The fresh air they hog

 

A longing to be free

A cry and a shout

 

Show me a living tree

Before I give out

 

Oh where can I go to 

To find this fresh breeze

 

Will someone guide me through

And to help me please

 

Can I go to the mountains

Will I find it there?

 

Go under the fountains

Will I find the air?

 

For my lungs dearly need

The fresh air to keep

 

My wheezing do I heed 

To drink it in deep
