The night grows dark as the evening comes
I catch a glimpse of the city
Away in the distance it sits
Reflections of light surround it
Skyline of buildings catch my eye
Starting a new life, to the old one
Goodbye
My heart is racing through my chest
Palms are damp, hair's a mess
Over the bridge, behind the trees
There is a city
Reaching the crest of the ridge
Beyond the valley of shallow waters
Skyscrapers scrape above my head
Filling with fear, my old life shreds
Reaching the ridge, beyond the valley
Feeling uneasy, anticipating what lies ahead
Afraid of not being accepted
My father taught me not to fear
Maybe I think I belong here
My heart is racing through my chest
Palms are damp, hair's a mess
Over the bridge, behind the trees
There is a city of opportunity
Reaching the crest of the ridge
Beyond the valley of shallow waters
Skyscrapers scrape above my head
Filling with fear, my old life shreds
Reaching the ridge, beyond the valley
Reaching the ridge, beyond the valley
