i see the light shine far away 
the city is calling me
lace my shoes and run the race
'til i get there, get there, get there 
no one knows i'm coming in
i'm taking my chance to begin again
i'm gonna miss my friends back home 
but i' ll get there, get there, get there 
the wind is blowing colder now
i'm turning one year older
lessons learned at twenty-one
will stay with me forever
on my way i hesitate
the world seems so unreal
lace my shoes and keep the faith
'cause i' ll get there, get there, get there
