lyrics

Fm Ab Bb
Wait! why are you driving so fast
Hold on! I just want to get past
Fm Ab Bb
This is becoming too much for me
Oh my God! Is that the city?
Db Eb F Ab
The lights illuminate the sky
A star on land that’s easy to find
Db Dbm Ab
So bright it lit up the night

Db Eb Fm Ab
A manmade marvel, a concrete castle
I’m in awe as my heart beats faster
C# C#m
I’ve awaited this my whole life

Ab Bb Fm Eb Db Dbm
Where do I go now? And what am I going to do?
I’m alone in this town and it’s all so new
Ab Bb Eb E Fm
So I take a deep breath and carry on to where I belong
Eb Db Db# Dbm
Adventures and opportunities await
And It’s all just fate playing out

Fm Ab Bb
Wait! Why are we walking so fast?
Hold on! I don’t think my legs will last
Fm Ab Bb
This is all just amazing to me
Maybe here I’ll feel free.
Fm Ab Bb
Please God tell me it’s true
There so much to see and so much to do
Fm Ab Bb
I almost forgot that I’m here on my own
But I’m not scared being here all alone

Solo
Db Eb Fm Gm Ab
Db Dbm
C Db C Db Eb

Fm Ab Bb
It’s a race for the finish and I won’t be last
I’m starting from new and forgetting my past
m Ab Bb
The new found fire that’s burning in my heart
Let’s me know this is a good place to
Db C Db C
start.
