A big brown paper coffee cup My suitcase in the yellow trunk I said, "We're going straight to the city Oh, I wanna see the lights" I saw them from the other side Shining in the purple sky Bringing hope to the hopeless And daylight to the blind Oh oh, street lights Street lights They'll never stop shining bright Oh oh, street lights Street lights Does it mean they'll light my heart? Walking down Christopher Street The ground's weak below my feet I'm a stranger among strangers Another dream that's meant to fall Same fears and different hopes I just move into a bigger box A box that's full of colours Of stories left to write Oh oh, street lights Street lights They'll never stop shining bright Oh oh, street lights Street lights Does it mean they'll light my heart? Oh oh, does it mean they'll light my heart? I saw them from the other side Through the eyes of an African child Bringing hope to the hopeless And daylight to the blind Oh oh, street lights Street lights They'll never stop shining bright Oh oh, street lights, mhm Does it mean they'll light my heart? Oh oh, street lights Street lights They'll never stop shining bright Oh oh, street lights Street lights Does it mean they'll light my heart? Oh oh, does it mean they'll light my heart? Oh oh, does it mean they'll light my heart? Oh oh, does it mean they'll light my heart?
