City Lights and Lonely Nights

Woke up to the sound of dreams

Chasing shadows of city schemes

On a tightrope with no end in sight

Balancing on beams of light

City lights and lonely nights

Echoes fading out of sight

From the cradle to the rush

Life's a painted canvas brush

Made my way through winding streets

Heartbeat syncs with my wandering feet

Whispers of a thousand tales

Caught in summer’s fleeting trails

City lights and lonely nights

Echoes fading out of sight

From the cradle to the rush

Life's a painted canvas brush

Every high and every low

Brushed my life with winds that blow

Stories told in twilight hue

Every sunset brings anew

Met some faces wore some masks

Told my truth through shattered glass

Wove my dreams through threads of time

Spelling joy in mismatched rhyme
