Open your eyes
A steady stream of morning light
The light it shines
Right through your window
And miles away
The light that shines cannot escape
The buildings tall
They see right through you
Where's the finish line
Find it on your time
Never let the city hold onto you
You gotta let it know
Who to follow
Never let the city tell you your truth
You gotta breathe it in
And bring it home to you
A flower grows
The air is new
There is no way the city knows
A safe place to turn to
A tree grows tall
The air is green with life and love
The buildings say
That you might never be enough
Where's the finish line
Find it on your time
Never let the city hold onto you
You gotta let it know
Who to follow
Never let the city tell you your truth
You gotta breathe it in
And bring it home to you
City lights, starry skies
Home sweet home and long goodbyes
City lights, starry skies
Home sweet home and long goodbyes
Never let the city hold onto you
You gotta let it know
Who to follow
Never let the city tell you your truth
You gotta breathe it in
Oh, you've got to breathe it in
You gotta breathe it in
And bring it home to you
