The rat is in the sewer walking through the muck
He is running around, down on his luck
He has a dream of living free
And he longs to wander by the sea
He gets bored of this labyrinth so he heads up to the street
This is the place where tribes compete
He walks past the cars and garbage cans
He is trying to come up with a plan
He finds a stairway to the subway down below
Something tells him that this is where to go
Once inside, he finds a unique place
A place with all kinds of human race
He sees the homeless and the buskers trying to stay alive
And much like the rat, it is hard to survive
He sees employees heading home from work
They try so hard to prove their worth
He watches the trains go by
And a thought enters his mind
Why not hop on one
What to lose when all is said and done
So he rides the train to the end of the line
Then he gets off the train feeling fine
He walks through a park, under a starry sky
He is on the right track, but he doesn’t know why
Then he finds a lake so wide and fast
He hopes that this moment will last
It is not an ocean, but it’s close enough
Now life doesn’t seem so rough
