The mist came down on Los Angeles I watched the city bloom And in the midst of all the elements I said goodbye to you I said goodbye to you And oh, it wasn't really hard for me to go And leave behind everything that I know I've always been a lover of a show Lift up your eyes to meet them And let them know just what you're worth Sing until you believe it Raise up your voice and hear it first Raise up your voice and hear it first I'm always looking for an answer in places I shouldn't be In empty alleys and in people who want something else from me Want something else from me But oh, it wasn't really hard for me to go And leave behind everything that I know And when I shine, you know they'll say I told you so I told you so I'll raise my eyes to meet them I'll let them know just what I'm worth Sing until they believe it They'll wish that they had seen it first But only I can see it first Yes, only I can see it first
