When I was just a child
Small town kid with a heart gone wild
I wondered where you are
Looking for you somewhere in the stars
They say this life ain't free
Money can't buy what you doing to me
I'll show you streets of gold
Open your eyes and watch it unfold

Time to shake the shadow
Sharpen up your arrow
Climbing up the ladder
I'm wide awake

In this city made of dreams
We'll go down in history
Greatest story ever told
They one that we wrote
In this city made of dreams
I'll still walking in my sleep
It's a long and winding road
But I'll carry you home

I payed for past mistakes
Came along way from my darker days
Stayed high 'til 4 am
Wasting away with all my friends
That's when you came along
A green-eyed dreamer with a siren song
You found me out at sea
Left me to drown on the bowery

Time to shake the shadow
Sharpen up your arrow
Climbing up the ladder
I'm wide awake

In this city made of dreams
We'll go down in history
Greatest story ever told
The one that we wrote
In this city made of dreams
I'll still walking in my sleep
It's a long and winding road
But I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home

In this city made of dreams
We'll go down in history
Greatest story ever told
The one that we wrote
In this city made of dreams
I'll still walking in my sleep
It's a long and winding road
But I'll carry you home
