City of Gods

Raindrops are dancing in the street
To the rhythms of the city beat
They can wash away all my regrets
With the smell of someone else's cigarette

I left my home with trembling fear
When the money's gone, it's all so clear
The currencies I failed to see
Pump through the veins inside of me

I might light up the sky bright as the sun
It's not the right time but I'm making it mine

Keep the light in your eyes and feet off the ground
How can you hope to be heard if no one's around?

What lies behind the mystery?
The fabric of our greatness?
Assembled into shapes and sounds
Catch them riding up and down the town

Captivate with seamless bliss, the simplicity of breathing
Forget our place just for a while
We're feeling lost but traveling the mile

I might light up the sky bright as the sun
You take your time but please don't take mine
I'm counting the days

Keep the light in your eyes and feet off the ground
How can you hope to be heard if no one's around?
And we have lived through the storm, all to what aim?
Here in the city of gods is where we remain
