CITY OF LIGHTS
Music and lyrics by Kurtis Parks

Verse 1:
And I felt a fire
A burning desire
From a spark to a flame, and now I think I’m on my way

You see, I said yes
To life over death
But I forfeit my dreams and now it would seem I’m confused

Chorus:
Don’t you ever stop just to think about
What comes after life when our lungs give out
Oooh. I know there’s something more

Our bodies may give up but our soul goes on
Finally connecting with our maker’s song
Oooh, it’s what we’re fighting for

Verse 2:
It’s not in plain sight
Nor seen by our eyes
For it flows through the veins of humanity’s heart

And if you believe
Then maybe you’ll see
And become a citizen of a race that goes back to the start

Bridge:
But there is hope for the downcast
When the first could be the last,
So I’m running to the city of lights

There’s repair for the broken
When the loudest words are the softest spoken
In the city of lights
