Strelitzia

[Verse 1]
Shallow heart
Martyr mind
A hope for a better life
Focused eyes
On broken shores
We could never know

[Verse 2]
Dark day
Bright night
Oh to live to see the New York City lights
And the clouds
Flying overhead
Make a hundred lightshows

[Chorus]
The LA hopes and dreams of yours may not yet be alive
But you can try
And you can strive
And you will fly
But you can try
And you can strive
And you will fly

[Post-Chorus 1]
Higher than
The native birds
At the same
Height as those

[Verse 3]
Sunburned beaches
Blinding stars
A thousand tourists and friends of yours
And a dark brown walkway
Along the water
Whеre you sit and talk to god

[Verse 4]
You break down
Late at night
But your prayеrs will come to fruition
In a couple of years
Or maybe more
But your hope will ensure, and will will manifest

[Chorus]
The LA hopes and dreams of yours may not yet be alive
But you can try
And you can strive
And you will fly
But you can try
And you will strive
And you will fly

[Post-Chorus 2]
Higher than
The native birds
At the same
Height as those
Beautiful people
Beautiful blues
Beautiful problems
Fairness abused
To the people of the Atlantic
Who didn't ever get a chance

[Outro]
Shallow heart
Martyr mind
A hope for a better life
Focused eyes
On broken shores
We could never know
