Graeme Mark - City Lights Lyrics

To live among the movers and the shakers
You've got to get used to all the smoke in your eyes
And the history makers
Have got the winds of change on their side
They say the dark skyscrapers
Welcome anyone with something to hide
I'm offering honesty; any takers?
I may not fit into your plan
But this is who I really am
Watch me take a stand
There's no more shaming me
Because even though your world does not contain me
I'm an inconvenient truth for you
My love sustains me
I want let you know your words cannot constrain me
Or steal away my youth
O city lights, unchain me
Oooo
Growing up among the bars and the churches
I had to get used to hearing I was a sin
I spent my childhood working hard
Trying to do my best to fit in
My demons casting all their curses
And waiting in my dreams with a grin
To spit their bible verses
You do not fit into God's plan my son
Were you not born a man
I guess another hand has come to claim me
Because even though your world does not contain me
I'm an inconvenient truth for you
My love sustains me
I want let you know your words cannot constrain me
Or steal away my youth
O city lights, unchain me
O city lights, city lights, unchain me
Oooo
I may not fit into your plan
But this is who I really am
Watch me take a stand
There's no more shaming me
