Once upon a time some bright lights called to me .
and I dreamed of future fortunes and the things that I could be .
so I left my little town thinking it would hold me down.
but my youth was yet to teach me that my feet were for the ground .
so I set my sights on a life in the grand city.
where the streets of promise drew me in.
and the brightest lights lit the path of my ambition but
those streets of promise played the game I couldn't win.
I lived the life but over time my wishful heart began to find .
that it's not always easy on those you love behind .
those city streets where paved with
gold they went and kept me on my toes .
and so it seems my new found dreams where treasures to be hold.
so I set my sights on a life in the grand
city where the streets of promise drew me in .
and the brightest lights lit the path of my ambition but
those streets of promise played the game I couldn't win .
as years went and passed me by it took me time to realize .
that all I ever wanted was that game on the emerald Isle .
I packed my bags with lessons learned .
I headed home to where I yearned.
thank god a above for those I love and blessing me to soil.
so I set my sights on a life back home in Ireland .
on the streets of promise I'll begin.
now there is starry skies light the path of my ambition .
and the streets of promise play a game I can win.
