Reaching the Crest

The night grows dark as the evening comes I catch a glimpse of the city Away in the distance it sits Reflections of light surround it Skyline of buildings catch my eye Starting a new life, to the old one Goodbye My heart is racing through my chest Palms are damp, hair's a mess Over the bridge, behind the trees There is a city Reaching the crest of the ridge Beyond the valley of shallow waters Skyscrapers scrape above my head Filling with fear, my old life shreds Reaching the ridge, beyond the valley Feeling uneasy, anticipating what lies ahead Afraid of not being accepted My father taught me not to fear Maybe I think I belong here My heart is racing through my chest Palms are damp, hair's a mess Over the bridge, behind the trees There is a city of opportunity Reaching the crest of the ridge Beyond the valley of shallow waters Skyscrapers scrape above my head Filling with fear, my old life shreds Reaching the ridge, beyond the valley Reaching the ridge, beyond the valley
