It's a long road, and it gets winding
Fog is real low, and it's so blinding
Oh I'm trying to steer, trying to take the lead
But I feel like the road is steering me

Getting so lost, like a castaway
Feeling so crossed, like a renagade
And I'm trying to call out, in the big city
Just a small voice and no one's listening to me

Oh, tell me where to go
Tell me that you know
Just how bright I glow

Every time that you think you lost your shine
Just remember nothing's brighter
You're the city lights
Every time that you fade into the night
Just remember you're the fire
You're the city lights

That shine into the night night night night night oh
That shine into the night night night night night oh
That shine into the night night night night night oh
That shine into the night night night night night oh

Oh I'm blending in, and I'm sticking out,
Like a sore thumb, they don't know about
Wanna make peace, wanna just breathe
Wanna be the light, that makes them all believe
I'm the race car, not the spectator
I'm the hero, not the narrator
Hercules battling, conquering everything

Oh, tell me where to go
Tell me that you know
Just how bright I glow

Every time that you think you lost your shine
Just remember nothing's brighter
You're the city lights
Every time that you fade into the night
Just remember you're the fire
You're the city lights

That shine into the night night night night night oh
That shine into the night night night night night oh
That shine into the night night night night night oh
That shine into the night night night night night oh

Everybody knows, that everybody glows like the city lights
Everybody knows, that everybody glows like the city lights
Everybody knows, that everybody glows like the city lights
Everybody knows, that everybody glows like the city lights

The city lights, oh oh

Every time that you think you lost you're shine
Just remember nothing's brighter
You're the city lights
Every time that you fade into the night
Just remember you're the fire
You're the city lights

That shine into the night night night night night oh
Shine into the night night night night night oh
Shine into the night night night night night oh
Shine into the night night night night night oh
