In the heart of the city, where the wild winds blow,
I walk through the alleys where the lost souls go.
Street lights flicker, casting ghosts on the street,
Every step I take, I feel the pulse of the beat.
Oh, in this city of shadows, where the night never sleeps,
The dreams and the heartaches are buried so deep.
I'm searching for freedom, a place I can call,
In this city of shadows, I've seen it all.
Whispers of lovers, reverberate through time,
Promises are broken, like a bad nursery rhyme.
The sound of a guitar, it pulls me back in,
A melody lingers where the sorrow begins.
Oh, in this city of shadows, where the night never sleeps,
The dreams and the heartaches are buried so deep.
I'm searching for freedom, a place I can call home,
In this city of shadows, I've seen it all.
The sirens are wailing, the trains rumble by,
I'm searching for meaning under this darkened sky.
With a voice like thunder, I'll shout to the stars,
In this city of shadows, we'll heal all the scars.
Oh, in this city of shadows, where the night never sleeps,
The dreams and the heartaches are buried so deep.
I'm searching for freedom, a place I can call,
In this city of shadows, I've seen it all.
So raise up your glasses to the lives that we've led,
To the laughter and tears, to the words left unsaid.
In this city of shadows, we'll find our way through,
With the fire of our spirits, we'll make it anew.
