Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Life is like a journey
On a road that's within
Head says you should stay
But your heart says to begin
So you go
But you don't want to go
Any life worth living
Isn't life just filled with ease
You just stay forgiving
Through the forest and the trees
And you'll go
Just where you want to go
Time fly by in the city of light
Time stands still in the country
There's no time for a fuss and a fight
As we travel the land
And I'd be
Satisfied
Just to be
Not denied
To reside
With some pride
While I ride
To the City
The City of Light!
Light shines like a diamond
In the City at night
When that diamond shines
You know that everything's all right
But you know
We got a way to go
Let us meet the master
We don't wanna make him wait
You just keep a-knockin'
He will open up the gate
To the City of Light
Master is a man with a plan I can understand
Master is a man of great reflection
Master is a man who lays his hand across the land
Master is the man of our affection
Time side by in the city of light
Time stands still in the country
There's no time for a fuss and a fight
As we travel the land
And I'd be
Satisfied
Just to be
Not denied
To reside
With some pride
While I ride
To the City
The City of Light!
