Standing outside by myself Trying to catch a ride home for free Broke and alone again Seems it only happens to me Quit school when my hopes were high Somehow they just disappeared Finding out that the city's a big place Dreams are turning into fear When you going to find yourself Just hold on, big city I need more time to feel you When you going to free yourself I need more time Just to step inside your forbidden door Let it all begin now, baby Take it on to the end Tired of being just a kid in the city Time is going to let me win Let it all begin now, baby Take it on to the end I know enough about sacrifice Now ain't you going to let me in Looking inside of myself Trying to find the right part to play The role of a city boy Don't seem right today Back home where I once began Somehow it all looked more real Finding out that you don't have the power Change you from the way you feel
