Survival
Her future she cannot see
Within the city
Over towering trees
Her night
A starless sky
Moonlight replaced by
Neon lights
Concrete and glass
Replace flowers and grass
She holds dear to memories she has
A child joyful and happy
Growing up in the country
A time of past
A fairytale her heart will tell
For now she's living in neon hell
With bills to pay
Careers that failed
Standing up when she fell
Just to make a life in this
Concrete hell
Friends are few
Even fewer are true
Love is found
When payment is due
She longs to start anew
And must do all she can do
To escape this neon fence
To escape this Concrete hell
She takes a chance
Upon a stage she makes her stance
With pole in hand
She starts to dance
( Crow Cries)
