Bright Lights, Big Dreams

Start sparking the fire

I’m leaving today

I want to be part of it

Bright lights, big dreams

These wandering shoes

They’re longing to stray

Straight through the beating heart of it

Bright lights, big dreams

I wanna wake up in the city

That never sleeps

And stand as queen of the hill

Top of the heap

These small‑town blues

Are fading away

I’m gonna make a brand‑new start

Where the skylines sway

If I can claim it there

I’ll claim it anywhere

It’s up to me—

Bright lights, big dreams!

Bright lights, big dreams

I want to wake up

In a city that forever gleams

And stand as number one

Top of the list

High on the hill

The one they can’t miss

These hometown blues

Are fading to gray

I’m gonna make a brand‑new start

Where the towers sway

And if I can rise up there

I know I can make it anywhere

It’s up to me—

Bright lights, big dreams!

Dreams!
