City of Gold Lyrics

Her dream was to shine on the screen
Felt that was why she was born
Left all behind without a fear inside
But sometimes there's no lucky star to help you

Sun will go down, and she's all alone
Can't help but feel insecure
She'll never stop, the way to the top
Is more than she bargained for

Her quest for the glory was real
But somehow it turned out all wrong
Heartache was never a part of the dream
Can't find a reason to keep on trying

Turn out the lights, cos deep in the night
Just like the thousands before
Hold up your hand, there's hope at the end
But be careful what you wish for

Now the lights are all gone
You find yourself on your own
Welcome the night, cos not all the glitters is gold
Now the city has gone
You find your own way back home
Keep up the fight, and you'll find your kingdom of gold

Another night out on the streets
Finding a way to survive
Wasting your chances destroying your dreams
Counting the tears that you cried

Hiding the pain that drives you insane
But still you're craving for more
So give me your hand, hold on till the end
And you can have what you wish for

Now the lights are all gone
You find yourself on your own
Welcome the night, cos not all the glitters is gold
Now the city has gone
You find your own way back home
Keep up the fight, and you'll find your kingdom of gold

Now the lights are all gone
You find yourself on your own
Welcome the night, cos not all the glitters is gold

Now the lights are all gone
You find yourself on your own
Welcome the night, cos not all the glitters is gold
Now the city has gone
You find your own way back home
Keep up the fight, and you'll find your kingdom of gold
