Oh, she was a dreamer
Paintin' mountains when she thinks no one sees her
Drawin' stories in the night
They help her make it out alive
But she's hopin' that one day she'll get it right
'Cause they won't believe her
When she tells them of the worlds she can see up there
But those broken wings won't fly
Without someone to make it right
So she's leavin' town to fix it all tonight
And she moved to the city just to figure it out
By the Lower East Side, second street in the morning south
But she's scared, she's scared, she's scared that she's still lost
And on the balcony, she cries
Who am I If I'm one of a million lights?
Trapped in the Manhattan sky
And all I hear is my echo, echo
Oh, he kept the lights dim
Hides his face so he knows they'll never find him
Catchin' lightnin' in the night
It's helped him make it out alive
But one man's passion is another's copyright
The kids used to doubt him
Now they pretend he couldn't have done it without them
Oh, his broken wings, they fly
But that still doesn't make it right
'Cause he felt stronger when the world was out of sight
Yes, he may have found home in the city of dreams
But the lights in Times Square aren't as bright as they seem
Yet he knows, he knows, he knows it's worth the cost
And on the balcony, he cries
Who am I If I'm one of a million lights?
Trapped in the Manhattan sky
And all I hear is my echo, echo
Callin' out
Hoo-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ho-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-whoa-oh, oh-oh
And on the balcony, they cry
Who am I If I'm one of a million lights? (Ooh-ooh, ho-oh-oh-oh)
Trapped in the Manhattan sky (ooh-oh-whoa-oh, oh-oh)
All I hear is my echo, echo, echo
