Native Son

On Native Sons

There are concrete rivers flowing

From the mountains to the sea

Towers that almost touch the sky

Up all around me

There’s music playing on the radio

From a house there down the street

Singing «Take me in your arms again

I miss you don’t you see»

No matter where I lay my head

No matter how far I’ve run

I dream about the day you’ll take me back

I’m your native son

I was a fool to run away

And forget where I’d come from

I think about the day you’ll take me back

I’m your native son

I think about the day you’ll take me back

I’m your native son
