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
