Miles to the Skyline

Bus is idling in the rain
Suitcase full of dreams and pain
Mother waving, porch light glow
Fading hills, I have to go
Trading home for miles away
Chasing life for better pay

Road is long, wind is cold
Fire burning in my soul
Shifting gear, taking flight
Leaving shadows in the night

Thousand miles to the skyline
Chasing light in the neon night
Working hard to find my place
Hometown dust still on my face
Long way home, but I stand my ground
In the city where silence is the sound!

Bitter coffee, city lights
Counting down the lonely nights
Call back home, I say I'm fine
Shadows on the power line
Towers tall, but roots are deep
Where the golden rivers sleep

Every brick, every loss
Every bridge I have to cross
I won’t look back, won’t lose my soul
In the pressure, I take control!

Thousand miles to the skyline
Chasing light in the neon night
Working hard to find my place
Hometown dust still on my face
Long way home, but I stand my ground
In the city where silence is the sound!

Miles to the skyline...
I'm coming home...
For now, I fly...
