City lights awake City lights awake City lights don't you see them Laying here straight cold Wondering if this is getting old My head is far too soft for this pillow The lights stream through the seems Of my painted room, the beams They don't seem to blind me No stars or moon in my reach I guess I'll have to keep hope For those city lights They're the only thing that's bright The power behind what so quickly removes dark We sit below it, we don't even know it It's not just stars Oh it's all so much to take But for my eyes sake I'll let them shine bright No stars or moon in my reach I guess I'll have to keep hope For those city lights They're the only thing that's bright This is where my room will stay So I'll have to learn to pray to those city lights, city lights This is where my room will stay So I'll have to learn to pray to those city lights, city lights awake The stars above are bright, but not like those city lights Your heart drops like a stone, but you seem to feel indifferent City lights, city lights, city lights awake
