City of Strangers, Soul of Mine

[Chorus] Found myself on a one-way ticket Lost my way, then I finally picked it This brand new city, a stranger's face But in its chaos, I found my place Yeah, in its chaos, I found my place [Verse] Suitcase packed, no map in hand Chasing whispers across the land Left behind the familiar gray For a sky that promised a brighter day A city hums a different tune Beneath a pale and watchful moon Every corner, a story untold Braver now, and feeling bold [Pre-Chorus] Streetlights paint the lonely streets Echoes of my own heartbeats Every stranger passing by Reflects a flicker in my eye [Chorus] Found myself on a one-way ticket Lost my way, then I finally picked it This brand new city, a stranger's face But in its chaos, I found my place Yeah, in its chaos, I found my place [Verse] Coffee shops with foreign names Playing unfamiliar games Trying words I’ve never known Seeds of a new self being sown The rhythm of the hurried feet Makes my own pulse skip a beat No more hiding, no more fear My true reflection's finally clear [Pre-Chorus] Neon signs begin to glow Where my new direction goes Every shadow, a chance to bloom Chasing away the lingering gloom [Chorus] Found myself on a one-way ticket Lost my way, then I finally picked it This brand new city, a stranger's face But in its chaos, I found my place Yeah, in its chaos, I found my place [Bridge] Maybe home's not where you're born But where your spirit's reborn In the laughter, in the crowd Singing my own anthem loud This journey's more than miles I've crossed It's the self I thought I'd lost [Verse] Sunrise paints the buildings gold A future waiting to unfold I breathe it in, this vibrant air With a freedom beyond compare No more looking back, I see The person I was meant to be [Chorus] Found myself on a one-way ticket Lost my way, then I finally picked it This brand new city, a stranger's face But in its chaos, I found my place Yeah, in its chaos, I found my place [Outro]
