The colors of the world are changing
Or maybe it's just me
Brilliant shades swell and fade
Just like a symphony
Off in the distance
Is the city of my dreams
Gleaming there on the horizon
So beautiful it seems
I left the home I'd known
In the middle of the night
Ran away fast so I couldn't look back
To what I'd left behind
Why does it seem
That everybody's got it figured out
I give the world much more credit
Than I'd ever give myself
Push the river
And it pushes you away
Float on down
To the city of dreams
Maybe I'm spellbound
By the stories I've been told
Beauty and music and no one's cynical
And if there was just one chance that a city did exist
I would cast off all that I've got
To follow my bliss
Sometimes the bravest thing
You can do is stay alive
Oh I'm too young to feel so old
Too young to be so tired
Keep chasing after truth and how to say what I feel
Only then do I feel closer to something that's real
Push the river
And it pushes you away
Float on down
To the city of dreams
The colors of the world are changing
Or maybe it's just me
All alone on a glittering road
My eyes they do deceive
My oasis or my hallucination
I'll find out when I make it to the city of my dreams
