Lion

It's way past midnight, and she's still up thinkin'
Heavy-hearted and got trouble sleepin'
Feeling so low and alone again

A room with a view, but nobody can see her
One tiny window where dreams disappear
As they fall to the floor in her heart and her soul
I can hear her sayin'

I wanna run through the streets like a lion
Make this city my jungle, I won't sleep tonight
I'm chasin' the bright lights
I wanna run through the streets like a lion
Wanna roam with the wild ones and run free tonight
I'm chasin' the big bright lights

Four paper walls and a fan on the ceilin'
Feels like a trap with no way to get out
She's got to find a way somehow
Keys in her hand as she heads for the front door
One last look at a room she's so over
There's a voice saying, go
In her heart and her soul
I can hear her sayin'

I wanna run through the streets like a lion
Make this city my jungle, I won't sleep tonight
I'm chasin' the bright lights
I wanna run through the streets like a lion
Wanna roam with the wild ones and run free tonight
I'm chasin' the big bright lights

Chasin' the big bright lights
I'm chasin' the big bright lights
I'm chasin' the big bright lights

(I hear her, I hear her sayin')
I've been here too long in this cage (I hear her)
Give me just one night to escape (I hear her sayin')
Won't let the fear take anything (I hear her)
I won't be the one to give it power (I hear her sayin')
Too many times I've settled for less (I hear her)
Tearing a hole in my happiness (I hear her sayin')
To be free, you've got to be sure (I hear her)
Sometimes you'll lose what you were before (I hear her sayin')
Now hear me roar

So, take a listen tonight
In the city, you'll find
She got nothing to hide
I can still hear her sayin'

I wanna run through the streets like a lion
Make this city my jungle, I won't sleep tonight
I'm chasin' the bright lights
I wanna run through the streets like a lion
Wanna roam with the wild ones and run free tonight (roam with the wild ones, roam)
I'm chasin' the big bright lights

I'm chasin' the big bright lights (I hear her)
I'm chasin' the big bright lights (I hear her sayin')
I'm chasin' the big bright lights (I hear her, run like a lion, run)
She wants to run like a lion (chasing the big bright lights)
Chasing the big bright lights (I hear her)
She wants to run like a lion
