	Lyrics The Concrete Wilderness The mountain rests on the earth: the image of splitting apart. Thus those above can insure their position only by giving generously to those below. I Ching, Bk. I, ch. 25, Reflections in the mind of men The growth of glass and steel reveals This ever-haunting wilderness Whose shadows all but conceal The lives that live beneath their heights Looking up, they lose the fight To those above who know the ground But while above don't dare look down Less the knowledge that is found Breaks the silence, (force of sound). The light conceals, but night reveals The life beneath the glass and steel Moves about to claim their spot To go to sleep and wait to rot Yet wake to find a penny earned A penny found from where, not learned But now with hopes the tides may turn Thus sustained, another day to yearn. The pennies buy a peace-of-mind For those that toss them passing by With slight of hand and quick retreat They hurry back towards the street Sending pigeons up above A sign from God, (this ghetto dove) But God, somehow, along the way Got lost when pennies couldn't pay The ever-increasing heavenly fare Now left alone, content to stare Upward at the glistening spires Empty eyes without desire.
