Small Town Girl
From Small Town Dreams to City Lights: A Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
I live on a hill overlooking the skyline
I reside on an elevated area, observing the city skyline.
With a breathtaking view of the big city bright lights
Enjoying a stunning view of the vibrant lights of the big city.
A hand full of stars and a heart full of dreams
Possessing a handful of stars and a heart filled with dreams.
Brought me down this road that's never what it seems
My journey along this path has been unpredictable and deceiving.
Here I'm just another face and just another voice
Here, I'm just an ordinary face and voice, a hopeful individual.
Just a wanna be that's gonna be if I have a choice
An aspiring person who will strive to achieve if given a choice.
The woman I am ain't the one that I was
The woman I am now is different from my past self.
You say I've come to my roots long enough
Others suggest I've returned to my origins long enough.
I can't run from the past that's given me wings
I cannot escape the past that has empowered me.
If I had to choose between this and what's left of me
Faced with a choice between my current life and what's left of my old self.
Then I choose me
I choose to prioritize myself.
I guess I've come a long way for a small town girl
Reflecting on the considerable journey I've made as a small-town girl.
There was a time I would have done anything
There was a time I would have sacrificed anything.
Trade in my soul just to play in the game
Even traded my soul to participate in the game of life.
Put my pride on the table, put my name on the line
Putting pride and reputation at stake, but realizing it's not my entire life.
It's a job that I love but it's not my life
My profession is something I love, but it doesn't define my existence.
I can't run from the past that's given me wings
The past, which has given me strength, cannot be evaded.
If I had to choose between this and what's left of me
Faced with choosing between my current life and remnants of my past.
Then I choose me
I prioritize my own well-being.
Yeah I've come a long way for a small town girl
Expressing pride in the significant progress made as a small-town girl.
No I won't run from the past that's given me wings
I refuse to run away from a past that has empowered me.
And if I had to choose between this and what's left of me
Faced with a choice, I again choose to prioritize myself.
But then I choose me
Emphasizing the decision to prioritize personal growth.
'Cause I've come a long way for a small town girl, oh yeah
Proudly acknowledging the journey as a small-town girl.
I'm proud to be a small town girl
Expressing pride in being a small-town girl.
