CITYLIGHTS
The city lights have raised you
Don’t forget where you’ve come from
Your brilliant urban soul shines through
The streetlight flickers, it’s half past two
My mind races as to why they’ve come
On in the day; it’s a sign I tell you
The city lights have raised you
The florescence burns my eyes, too
Much light! Turn them down some,
You aren’t disoriented, I’m all askew
Your brilliant urban soul shines through
When rats used to scamper and pigeons flew
Taxis honked, street corner bands strummed
The city lights have raised you
Your brilliant urban soul shines through.
