Walking around with my head held down Like I'm looking for hope in my shoes
Expecting to see my obituary At the top of the 5-o-clock news
I was mad, I was sad, I really felt bad With no reason I could easily find My wheels were off track, I could only look back To see that I was wasting my time
Self-pity and sorrow, today and tomorrow I can't find a friend so this must be the end
But at the last minute my eyes were opened At the last minute it all came right I received more than my heart had hoped for At the last minute I saw... The light
In the city of light, there are mountains of hope With a valley of peace in between There's a river of love running right through its Heart It felt like I was living a dream
Life without trouble, a clay without end, Hope everlasting and a genuine friend
It may be hard to believe but I know that it's right It's all there... in the city of light
Self-pity and sorrow, confusion and doubt Beginning to wonder if I'd ever break out
