I knew a time would come
When I would start to grow, yeah
When fate would take its hand
And a change start to flow
Into my life, oh yeah, yeah
Like a river into the big, big sea
I knew that I would feel a change in me
Bright lights
Bright lights, big bad city
Bright lights, bright lights
Big, big bad city
Big city (lights)
A small-town girl in a small-town world, yeah
A story not so new
I knew that I had to take some steps
To elevate my point of view
Into my life, oh yeah, yeah
Like a river into the big, big sea
I knew that I would feel a change in me
Bright lights
Bright lights, big bad city, yeah
Bright lights
Didn't your mama tell you all that glitters ain't gold, no
Bright lights
Bright lights
(It used to be such a thrill to me)
Bright
Bright lights
(It ain't exactly what it seems to be)
Lights
Brights lights (no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
Bright lights, yeah
Take care in what you ask for
You might get it
Take care in what you ask for
Into my light, oh yeah, yeah
Like a river into the big, big sea
I knew that I would feel a change in me
Bright lights
Big, big bad city
Bright lights, big bad city
Didn't your mama tell you all that glitters ain't gold, no
Bright lights
Bright lights
Into my life
Bright lights
Like a river
Bright lights
