the wild – the saddest thing i ever saw lyrics
i’m not enchanted by this city anymore. skyscr-pers swallow me with shadows before, the sun sets somewhere, it’s light still breaks. we plant roots, but there is more at stake. on the corner there once stood a church full of sound, you could hear songs escape at night. they’d sing praise be to him for what we have built… a home, a community, a life. but it broke. now stands a high-rise. i can’t take back what i’ve done. so we danced around the room to an old familiar tune, and i looked deep in your eyes, and i thought about the fact that we are lucky for what we have, but i wonder what’s the price… cause the saddest thing i ever saw was a colorful neighborhood turn white, a vibrancy destroyed by greed, a neighborhood of fallacy, development’s sacrifice. i don’t know this place anymore, these streets like before. i’m afraid, it’s my fault, i’ve become what i hate… cause the saddest thing i ever saw was a colorful neighborhood turn white.
