Adventure Awaits
October 17, 2018
the city is calling,
the city is calling.
the small-town girl is fading, falling.
she dreams too big for the closed minds,
she longs to leave it all behind.
she’s shrinking, condensing.
her adrenaline is over flowing.
the city is calling,
the city is calling.
she has her luggage packed,
she has a ticket, a spirit in flight.
she boards, feeling no ounce of fright.
no more stalling,
no more stalling.
the city is calling,
the city is calling.
the beaming lights, the mystic nights.
the alley ways with no end.
the place she won’t have to pretend.
the city was calling,
the city was calling.
she’s finally home.
she finally feels free.
she no longer feels alone.
