lyrics

Wu:
I opened my eyes
When I woke up
I rise
Put my jacket on, see the showdown outside
My dream
It was cloudy but nice
It makes me remember those sunny times
Now it's colder than ice
I feel like I could cry
Then the sun and the blue sky
I wish I could find them
Concrete jungle makes the robots look iron
But anyway I will never stop criticize them
Take a rest
Let me spend a little time
I draw you a picture
Keep it in mind
It feels right when I start to realize
That I see your pretty smile
In the dust of city lights
No it's glowing, it's snowing
I should better stop slowing
Down my steps – uptown aspects
Never get me down I won't allow it yet
So I walk down my way
Cause I will never stop goin'

Chorus:
And I’m walking home under the city lights
Cold and empty streets
Freezing is the air I breathe
Put on my jacket as I turn right
I miss those summer nights, oh how I miss those summer nights
And I’m walking home under the city lights
Cold and empty streets
Freezing is the air I breathe
Put on my jacket as I turn right
How I miss those warm summer nights
Shavu:
It's been
Rough weeks, tough season
Don't know how I made it but I’m here for a reason
Cause my daddy told me
Better is yet to come
U will only see sunshine if you dance through the storm
Sometimes I'm tired
Oh somebody light my fire
Yes sing again oh sometimes I'm tired
But I keep walking, walking, walking on
walking, walking, walking on

(Chorus)

But there can u see
A little blossom on the tree
First sign of life that will set us free
From the freezing, the breezing the f***ing cold feeling
The meaning of struggle that it used to be
I can see it
I can smell it
Feel it on my fingertips
The sunshine on my cheek
The sound of honey bees
And never think ‘bout the winter trips
There's a pretty little flower
Growing from the cold
Like a summer bringing soldier
Hoping to be followed

So now I'm walking home under the city lights
Cold and empty streets
Freezing is the air I breathe
Put on my headphones as I see the morning rise
Play the summer's first track
(Play the first track now)
And play it loud

(Fade out)
