Dreams of the City

Born in a field where the wind never quits

Mud on her boots and the sunburn hits

She’s chasing the skyline

Chasing the glow

The stars in her eyes

Where she’ll never outgrow

She said goodbye to the fields of green

Her heart was set on a concrete dream

I wanna live where the towers touch the sky

Where the lights never dim and the streets never lie

Where the echoes of engines sing me to sleep

I wanna live where the city runs deep

She traded the dirt for the shine of the glass

The roar of the city for the rustling grass

But the pavement’s cold

The faces are strange

The cost of a dream is a life rearranged

She misses the stars but she can’t look back

The pull of the future keeps her on track

I wanna live where the towers touch the sky

Where the lights never dim and the streets never lie

Where the echoes of engines sing me to sleep

I wanna live where the city runs deep
