City Lights

City lights, pretty, bright and fair
Twinkling in my eyes, I couldn't help but glare
I'll be just fine by my lonesome self
You and I, we used to have it all
Until you set your sights on the bustle down below
Take your time, I'm sure you'll not be long
City Lights, they blind me from the stars
Which help to keep in mind how small we really are
Just a speck floating in a ray of light
Down in town the world's in such a rush
Running round and round in search of such and such
But the view's just fine from way out here
If I was a rich man's son
I'd give up all the money and run
Through the Birch and through the Pine
No I wouldn't keep even a dime
I'd make my own way and I'd live off the land
Away from the city, I'd work with my hands
Come with me through the woods
Way past city lights the world looks like it should
Towers tall, standing high
But that Mockingbird singing in the sky
Hope her song doesn't die
No I don't, hope her song doesn't die
