Only 2 bags packed heading from Philly
On a plane to LA feeling kinda silly
As I'm holding back the tears I haven't cried
Just days ago I lost my housing situation
And I'm single now from our last conversation
I'd be breaking down, but I gotta stay strong
Slowly descending the clouds greet as we touch down
Anxiously waiting to meet you
Staring face to face with the city
Your mountain tops are looking oh so pretty
And the palm trees sway into the night
Reminds me I'm gonna be alright
No matter how much I cry
You lift me up with every city light
And feed my dreams so I can fly
Thanks to you I'm gonna be alright
Alright
Staying with a stranger wishing it was different
And I'm working two jobs just to make a living
As the tears Inside wash the days away
Try to make friends, but everybody's busy
Going out alone pretending like it's no biggie
But when I go home it catches up to me
Hoping not knowing but trusting you'll show me
I'm right where I need to be
Staring face to face with the city
Your mountain tops are looking oh so pretty
And the palm trees sway into the night
Reminds me I'm gonna be alright
No matter how much I cry
You lift me up with every city light
And feed my dreams so I can fly
Thanks to you I'm gonna be alright
Alright
Starting from zero it just isn't easy, trying to pave a new way
Slowly ascending each tear that has fallen
Gives me the strength to keep going
Staring face to face with the city
Your mountain tops are looking oh so pretty
And the palm trees sway into the night
Reminds me I'm gonna be alright
No matter how much I cry
You lift me up with every city light
And feed my dreams so I can fly
Thanks to you I'm gonna be alright
No matter how much I cry
You lift me up with every city light
And feed my dreams so I can fly
Thanks to you I'm gonna be alright
Alright
