Like I'm looking for hope in my shoes
Expecting to see my obituary

It felt like I was living a dream
Life without trouble, a day without end

It may be hard to believe but I know that it's right
It's all there in the city of light
Self-pity and sorrow, confusion and doubt
Beginning to wonder if I'd ever break out
But at the last minute my eyes were opened
At the last minute it all came right
I received more than my heart had hoped for
At the last minute I saw...
