City Of Lights

From the movie, Brave Little Toaster

   

   

     -             -            -              -
Life is like a journey on a road that's within
     -             -            -              -
Head says you should stay, but your heart says to begin
       
So you go
                        -  
But you don't wanna go

     -             -            -              -
Any life worth living isn't life just filled with ease
     -             -            -              -
You just stay forgiving through the forest and the trees
       
And you'll go
                        -  
Just where you wanna go

   -          -   - -  
Time flies by in the city of light
   -          -   - -  
Time stands still in the country
   -          -   - -  
There's no time for a fuss and a fight
    -       - 
As we travel the land
           -     -         -    -
And I'd be satisfied just to be not denied

To reside with some pride
        
While I ride
                         
To the city, the city of light!

     -             -            -              -
Light shines like a diamond in the city at night
     -             -            -              -
When that diamond shines you know that everything's all right
       
But you know
                        -  
We got a way to go

     -             -            -              -
Let us meet the master, we don't wanna make him wait
     -             -            -              -
You just keep a-knockin' He will open up the gate
                 
To that city of light

                            -           - 
Master is a man with a plan I can understand
     -          -           -          -
Master is a man of great reflection
                            -           -
Master is a man who lays his hand across the land
     -          -           
Master is the man of our affection

   -          -   - -  
Time flies by in the city of light
   -          -   - -  
Time stands still in the country
   -          -   - -  
There's no time for a fuss and a fight
    -       - 
As we travel the land
           -     -         -    -
And I'd be satisfied just to be not denied

To reside with some pride
        
While I ride
                         
To the city, the city of light!
