City of Lights

by The Brave Little Toaster

on Lullaby Versions of U2 (2010)

Life is like a journey on a road that's within
Head says you should stay, but your heart says to begin
So you go
But you don't wanna go

Any life worth living isn't life just filled with ease
You just stay forgiving, through the forest and the trees
And you'll go
Just where you wanna go

Time fly by in the city of light
Time stands still in the country
There's no time for a fuss and a fight
As we travel the land

And I'd be satisfied just to be not denied
To reside with some pride
While I ride to the city,
The city of light

Light shines like a diamond in the city at night
When that diamond shines you know that everything's alright
But you know
We got a way to go

Let us meet the master, we don't want to make him wait
You just keep on knocking, he will open up the gate
To the city of light

Master is a man with a plan I can understand
Master is a man of great reflection
Master is a man who lays his hand across the land
Master is a man of our affection

Time fly by in the city of light
Time stands still in the country
There's no time for a fuss and a fight
As we travel the land

And I'd be satisfied just to be not denied
To reside with some pride
While I ride to the city,
The city of light
