Lyric

City in the Morning Light (feat. Yewande)

Valerie Enfield

Up in the morning with the city humming low

Neon fading where the early breezes blow

Another day of walking in the same old line

But something in the air says this time is mine

Every clock keeps pushing me along the track

Every voice says there’s no turning back

But I hear a rhythm in a distant sound

Like a door that’s waiting to be unbound

Don’t tell me where I ought to be

Don’t draw the map for me to see

I feel the moment coming through

A brighter sky, a different view

I’m gonna step into the light

Leave the shadows far behind

Let the whole world spin away

I’m breaking out today

Streets are shining like a silver sea

Every window looking back at me

All the rules that tried to hold me down

Fade like echoes in another town

Hear the horns in the summer air

Calling out from everywhere

Like the city knows my name tonight

And everything is turning bright

I’m gonna step into the light

Leave the shadows far behind

Let the whole world spin away

I’m breaking out today

No more waiting for the perfect sign

No more living on borrowed time

If the road is wide and the sky is clear

That’s enough to lead me out of here

I’m gonna step into the light

Leave the shadows far behind

Let the whole world spin away

I’m breaking out today

Let the music lead the way

I’m breaking out today

Set against a city morning, this is a light, flowing soul/acid jazz number that sings of living with a free spirit.
