Shining through the city light lyrics
Verse 1
Cerulean sky before the dawn
Silver mist above the town
The neon lights on every face
Are turning red in the same place
The sirens fade into a hum
The stars come out one by one
Nobody's running from the sound
Everybody's still moving round
Pre-Chorus
Here comes the morning, slow and low
Can you feel it climbing up our souls?
Chorus
Rise on up, let your heart lead
Shining through the city light we need
Dust off every shadow of the night
Come into focus like the rising light
Verse 2
The streetlamps flicker and they bend
Across the rooftops where the day begins
Your hand brushes mine across the line
And everything turns soft and fine
We chase the colors as they start to blend
Watch the world come alive again
Nobody's counting down till dawn breaks through
This is all we need, me and you
Pre-Chorus
Here comes the morning, slow and low
Can you feel it climbing up our souls?
Chorus
Rise on up, let your heart lead
Shining through the city light we need
Dust off every shadow of the night
Come into focus like the rising light
Bridge
No more hiding behind the dark
This is where the sun finally starts
Every step we take gets lighter too
We're not chasing night, we're shining through
Chorus
Rise on up, let your heart lead
Shining through the city light we need
Dust off every shadow of the night
Come into focus like the rising light
