Banging on a drum

You turned me loose

Maybe I′m the living proofWhat have I been running from?

I went down to the corner

They're building up my block

Maybe I′ve been gone too long

I can't go back

Oh, lonesome

I will protect

I'll keep improving

Taking me home

I′m always changing

Now I suppose

I′m only moving

I'm in Chicago

Come to me now

I know the path

I know it′s changing

I know the pain

The pain you've been feeling

I′ve been to the place

That you've tried escaping

I can′t recall

What I believe in

I'm always changing

Love overflowing

But I'm rising

And I′m damaged

Oh, rising

Ooh
