City Lights

We've seen all the trials
Fake embraces and the smiles
That raised us to believe
We would all end up the same
As a number not a name
Surrounded but alone
Words will fade
And lose their place
In the pages that pass away
City lights
Will burn tonight
To bring us home
We could break the pattern
Strike a match and light the lanterns
A signal to the world
Set them on the highest hill
Show them love survives here still
To light their way back home
Heads are bowed and hands are folded
Through each word these hearts are molded
We choose love and we choose feeling
We choose hope and life with meaning
