[Verse]
I see her skyline in my dreams
A city bathed in golden streams
Her laughter echoes in my head
But I'm stuck in shadows where hope has fled
[Verse 2]
Her streets are painted with joy and heat
A thousand hearts in rhythm beat
But here I am in the cold and black
Lost in the maze too far to track
[Chorus]
Oh city of love oh city so bright
I reach for you through this endless night
Your glow calls out through a world apart
But I'm trapped where the dark consumes my heart
[Verse 3]
I weave her name through every sigh
A beacon hung on a star-strung sky
But steel and stone they cage my way
Chains of the past weigh down each day
[Bridge]
If I could soar like the wind takes flight
I'd follow her voice past walls of spite
But here I stand on the edge of fear
Longing for a path that brings me near
[Chorus]
Oh city of love oh city so bright
I reach for you through this endless night
Your glow calls out through a world apart
But I'm trapped where the dark consumes my heart
