Can you feel how the fire starts to rise?
Heat is getting closer burning deep behind my eyes
Can you hear how the rhythm pulls me in?
Beating like a signal calling louder than the wind
Elevate

Heat is getting closer burning deep behind my eyes
Can you hear how the rhythm pulls me in?
Beating like a signal calling louder than the wind
Elevate

Elevate

One more step and there's no retreat
One more step and there's no retreat
One more step and there's no retreat
One more step and there's no retreat
One more step and there's no retreat
Cross the line
One more step and there's no retreat
Cross the line

Can you feel how the fire starts to rise?
Heat is getting closer burning deep behind my eyes
Can you hear how the rhythm pulls me in?
Beating like a signal calling louder than the wind

(Verse 1)
Alright alright
Right now
Alright alright
(Are we playing?)

Miscommunication
Leaves us distant
All this time wasted
With others we've spent
I'm done with the chase yeah
You've always been my favorite girl
Where do you roam?
Where do you go?
What's your allegiance when I'm not home?
Out on the road
I'm not pointing fingers but I need to know

(Chorus)
I gotta know (know)
(I gotta know) oh woah
(Whose side you're on)
Sides (Are we playing)
Sides (I gotta know)
(Whose side you're on)
Sides (Are we playing)
Sides (Sides)

(Verse 2)
Dream
Of when we first met
I sent a FaceTime and a text
You got me perplexed
Why don't I get a reply? Why?
You bring sweetness to my life oh yeah
Don't be so stubborn
Hit me up when you land
I'll be waiting outside
Memorable nights
Can you handle that?
Oh yeah yeah yeah

(Chorus)
I gotta know (know)
(Whose side you're on)
Sides (Oh woah)
Sides (I gotta know)
(Whose side you're on)
Sides (Are we playing)
Sides (Sides)

(Bridge)
Whose side are you on baby? (Whose side you're on?)
Sides sides (Whose side you're on?) Aye
Sides sides

Straight outta the struggle got my mind on my hustle
Life's a tightrope no time for a fumble
Cops on the block always lookin' to tussle
But I’m too quick got the muscle and the hustle

System's rigged man it's all about survival
Livin' every day like we're dodging a rifle
They wanna see us fail but we're rising like a spiral
In this concrete jungle every day is a trial

We’re the voice of the streets can’t silence the beat
With a mic in our hand we’re bringing the heat
Life’s a battle but we stand on our feet
Standing strong no retreat no defeat

Politicians lie and the news got us blind
Feeding us fake dreams while we're caught in a bind
But we see through the smoke got a vigilant mind
In the land of the free but freedom’s hard to find

Grinding every day making something from nothing
In the face of adversity we keep on stuntin'
Never back down always up for the confrontation
Voices of the voiceless sparking a revelation

We’re the voice of the streets can’t silence the beat
With a mic in our hand we’re bringing the heat
Life’s a battle but we stand on our feet
Standing strong no retreat no defeat

Break the chains break the silence break the mold
Stories untold in the lyrics we unfold
Street chronicles in the rhythm and the flow
From the darkness we rise let the truth be bold

We’re the voice of the streets can’t silence the beat
With a mic in our hand we’re bringing the heat
Life’s a battle but we stand on our feet
Standing strong no retreat no defeat

She wakes and she speaks
"Daily grind in endless loops
Facing long days hope in view
Now she’s smiling hiding her sighs
Stacking shirts so neatly life's unseen trials"

Something has touched the heart of this young lady
Something has touched the heart of this young lady
Folding what she can she is seeking joy
Folding what she can trying to employ

Something has touched the heart of this young lady
Something has touched the heart of this young lady
Sorting all she sees she is finding peace
Sorting all she sees in her quiet lease

Rising now
She’s finding strength in customer smiles
Rising now
She’s finding hope in the daily trials
Rising now
She’s finding herself in this retail maze
Finding herself in this retail haze

Do you see her do you watch
Do you see her the dreams she’s got?
Do you see her do you watch
Do you see her the dreams she’s caught?

Something has touched the heart of this young lady
Folding what she can she is seeking joy
Something has touched the heart of this young lady
Something has touched the heart of this young lady
Sorting all she sees she is finding peace
Sorting all she sees she is finding peace

Rising now
She’s finding strength in customer smiles
Rising now
She’s finding hope in the daily trials
Rising now
She’s finding herself in this retail maze
Finding herself in this retail haze

Do you see her do you watch
Do you see her the dreams she’s got?
Do you see her do you watch
Do you see her the dreams she’s caught?

Verse 1:
Beneath the ceaseless city lights that never seem to dim
I find myself dreaming of horizons vast and grim
The rush of crowded streets echoes a siren's call
Yet here I stand unmovable amidst the urban sprawl

Chorus:
Oh how I long to break these chains to find the roads untraveled
To flee the concrete maze where my deepest dreams have raveled
But fear holds tight with iron grips in shadows I confide
Yearning for the courage to step into the stride

Verse 2:
Each morning greets me with the same grey skies above
The towering silhouettes that I've grown tired of
I crave the whisper of the wind across a lonely plain
To wash away the city's noise the never-ending strain

[musicaal interlude]

Glass towers hum in fading blue
Faint reflections split in two
Footsteps curve through liquid air
Tracing paths to nowhere

Weightless currents pull me near
Time dissolves yet stays so clear

Wires hum beneath my skin
Friction sparks we burn within
Rushing forward shedding past
Now’s the only thing that lasts

Torn-out pages words erased
Stories shift but won’t replace
Drifting through a silent storm
Shaping what was never formed

Weightless currents pull me near
Time dissolves yet stays so clear

Wires hum beneath my skin
Friction sparks we burn within
Rushing forward shedding past
Now’s the only thing that lasts

No rewind no fading lines
Only fire left to find

Wires hum beneath my skin
Friction sparks we burn within
Rushing forward shedding past
Now’s the only thing that lasts

Young hearts wild and free
We danced under the old oak tree
Whispers of summer nights oh how they flew
With dreams so vivid and skies so blue

Magic in the air
we were unaware
Timeless moments
love beyond compare

First love first light (Oh oh oh)
Holding tight holding tight (Yeah yeah yeah)
In the night our delight

Golden days we laughed and played
Secret paths where we often strayed
Bound by dreams so pure and bright
We were the stars in our own right

Magic in the air
we were unaware
Timeless moments
love beyond compare

First love first light (Oh oh oh)
Holding tight holding tight (Yeah yeah yeah)
In the night
our delight

Through the winds of change
Our hearts remain the same

First love oh first love (Oh oh oh)
Always bright above (Yeah yeah yeah)

Whispered winds home's call
Mem'ries bloom hearts enthrall
Fireside dreams warm glow
Far away yet I know
Home's embrace I'll stow
Yearning for where I belong
Echoes sing a childhood song

Misty morns dewy lawn
Familiar paths now withdrawn
Laughter echoes in my mind
Comfort's embrace hard to find
Distance stretches miles long
To my roots I long

Oh home sweet home
Wherever I roam
Your essence I keep
In dreams I sleep
Longing never to cease

Though afar I roam
Home my heart's true home

Caught in a spin
heartbeat racing
lost in your smile
the world embracing

Sweet serenade
beyond the stars
under the moonlight just you and I

Timeless love
endless groove
wrapped in your arms
we find our move
under the moonlight
just you and I

(Doo-wop doo-wop)
(Laughs) Yeah yeah
(Doo-wop doo-wop)
Life's a fun parade
(Doo-wop doo-wop)
Hey hey hey!
(Laughs)
(Let's Start Baby!)

Walking down the street
Wearing shoes with holes and laughs
Passing Gucci stores
Thinking "Who needs that fancy cash?"

Happiness is free
Not for sale

Smiles are wealth
Oh yes
Oh yes
Hearts are gold
Oh yes

I am broke (Ha! Ha!)
Big joke (Oh yeah!)
Laughing loud (So loud!)
Not proud (Too bad!)
Peace is my only cloak (Look at me!)
Never bowed (I'm free!)

Wandering all day
Friends and jokes make life so sweet
Fashion ain't my thing
But my spirit can't be beat

Rich in love and joy
Life's a dance

Smiles are wealth
Oh yes
Oh yes
Hearts are gold
Oh yes

I am broke (Ha! Ha!)
Big joke (Oh yeah!)
Laughing loud (So loud!)
Not proud (Too bad!)
Peace is my only cloak (Look at me!)
Never bowed (I'm free!)

Rich in dreams
Not in seams

Smiles are wealth
Oh yes
Oh yes
Hearts are gold
Oh yes

Life is grand every day (day)
Here to stay (stay)
Old town blues left behind (gone)
So blind (blind)
Dreams as high as the sky (sky)
Flying high (high)

Left that small town behind
Big city lights now they're all mine
Old folks stuck unkind
Livin’ slow lives wasting their time

I’m chasing dreams real fast
Outgrew that sleepy past

I’m now in the big scene (scene)
Let go (let go)
Too slow (too slow)
City life's my new sheen (sheen)
For show (for show)

Life is grand every day (day)
Here to stay (stay)
Old town blues left behind (gone)
So blind (blind)
Dreams as high as the sky (sky)
Flying high (high)

Small town life was a bore
Old-timers stuck in their same rut
Now my life's an uproar
Fast lanes and dreams eyes are wide shut

Living young wild and free
New adventures for me

I’m now in the big scene (scene)
Let go (let go)
Too slow (too slow)
City life's my new sheen (sheen)
For show (for show)

Life is grand every day (day)
Here to stay (stay)
Old town blues left behind (gone)
So blind (blind)
Dreams as high as the sky (sky)
Flying high (high)

City lights my new home
Free to roam

From a one-horse town to a cityscape vast
Traded dusty roads for neon lights that flash
Used to be stuck in the past moving slow
Now it's hustle and bustle got places to go
Small minds couldn't see the dreams in my eyes
Told me settle down be content with the skies
But I'm reaching for the stars skyscrapers and all
Where every step forward feels like a freefall
Old men at the diner sipping coffee talking slow
I'm out here making moves got a million in tow
From the concrete jungle to the city park's green
Every corner turned another sight to be seen
Fast cars bright bars life's a constant rush
Left that quiet hush for this city's sweet crush
No more fishing lines just deadlines and shows
Traded small talk for big dreams that grow
Living in the moment no regrets in my mind
Left that town in the dust I'm a rare find
Big city vibes got me feeling alive
From dawn till dusk in the hive I thrive
So cheers to the future the past in the rear
City life's my anthem ringing loud and clear

I’m now in the big scene (scene)
Let go (let go)
Too slow (too slow)
City life's my new sheen (sheen)
For show (for show)

Life is grand every day (day)
Here to stay (stay)
Old town blues left behind (gone)
So blind (blind)
Dreams as high as the sky (sky)
Flying high (high)
