Big City Lights (Here I Come)

Take a bite out a big apple
Not a task out there that's too difficult to tackle
Exercise the mind like a young Jedi
Switch time zones, fly in on a red eye
Land at the airport, pick up the cargo
Don't have a car though, hop in a taxi cab
Latin driver keeps the window spick and span
So tonight, traffic lights shine extra bright
Turn up the radio
On the way to the stadium
Hymns on the road till pandemonium
Trace the skyline above downtown squares and
Buzz in the air like a packed coliseum
Hearts beat fast during elevation
Steadily more anticipation
Get ready for the crowd participation,
They've been hungry for live inspiration

Big city lights, here I come
Enter the scene
To fulfill my dreams
Against all odds, bets off
Shoot for the stars and
Bring it home like a laser beam
Big city lights, here I come
Climb on the mound
To fulfill our dreams
One finger on the plate
Team backing me up, saying
Bring it home, bring it home, bring it

Now when you...
Step into the House that the Legends built
Its like walking on the carpet at a world premiere
You know the moment is near,
She's calling my name, huh
Straight, no chaser, flirting with Fame
A shut door in the face not a reason to give up
Can't afford another season to live up
To the bold type of a hype machine
Keep my nails clipped if you know what I mean
Success grows upon layers of failure
Players of the game understand the grandeur
Enough to endure ridicule to reach where
Only a brave soul seek to venture
Behold, feel my chest cavity explode
Unleash on the field a vision untold
And secure a spot in the loving memory
Of the common people, my folk, my family

Big city lights, here I come
Enter the scene
To fulfill my dreams
Against all odds, bets off
Shoot for the stars and
Bring it home like a laser beam
Big city lights, here I come
Rush on the stage
To fulfill our dreams
One time, horn section backing me up, going
Bring it home, bring it home, bring it
