Once upon a time some bright lights called to me,
And I dreamed of future fortunes and the things that I could be
So
I left my little town thinking it would hold me down,
But my youth was yet to teach me that my feet were for the ground.
So
I set my sights on a life in a life in the grand city,
Where the streets of promise drew me in,
And the brightest light
lit the path of my ambition,
But the streets of promise played the game I couldn't win.
I lived the life
but over time my wishful heart began to find,
That it's not always easy to those you love behind,
Those city streets
were paved with gold they went and kept me on my toes
And so it seems my new bound dreams were treasures to behold.
So
I set my sights on a life in a life in the grand city,
Where the streets of promise drew me in,
And the brightest light
lit the path of my ambition,
But the streets of promise played the game I couldn't win.
As years went and
passed me by it took me time to realise
That all I ever wanted was that game on the Emerald Isle,
I packed my bags with
lessons learned, I headed home to where I yearned
Thank God above to those I love and blessing me ?
So I
set my sights on a life back home in Ireland,
On the streets of promise I'll begin
Now there's starry skies like the
path of my ambitions
And the streets of promise may gain but I cant
