  • What am I doin' here
    In such a lonely place?
    Birds fly below
    I'm high up in my cage

    Wide awake again
    Or am I dreamin'?
    Trains passing by
    World's spinning 'round my head

    Then I heard a sweet voice cry
    Telling me, yeah it's gonna be alright

    I just look at the skyline
    A million lights are lookin' back at me
    And when they shine
    I see a place I know I'll find some peace
    I just look at the skyline

    I used to rush around
    To keep busy in the day
    Then we'd sit up and drink
    We might find something new to say
    No, I can't live this wayâ?¦

    But then I heard that sweet voice cry
    Telling me, yeah it's gonna be alright

    I just look at the skyline
    A million lights are lookin' back at me
    And when they shine
    I see a place I know I'll find some peace
    I just look at the skyline

    I look at the skyline
    A million lights are lookin' back at me
    And when they shine
    I see a place I know I'll find some peace
    I just look at the skyline

    What am I doin' here
    In such a lonely place? Writer/s: EMILY ROBISON, MARTIN STRAYER
