the buildings reach up to the sky
the traffic thunders on the busy street
the pavement slips beneath my feet
i walk alone and wonder
who am i
i close my eyes and i can fly
and i escape from all this worldly strife
restricted by routine of life
but still i can’t discover
who am i
i long to wake up in the morning
and find everything has changed
and all the people that i meet don’t wear a frown
but every day is just the same
i’m chasing rainbows in the rain
all the dreams that i believe in let me down
maybe i’m reaching far too high
for i have something else entirely free
the love of someone close to me
unfettered by the world that hurries by
um to question such good fortune
who am i
i long to wake up in the morning

all the dreams that i believe in let me down

for i have something else entirely free
the love of someone close to me
unfettered by the world that hurries by
to question such good fortune
