3 a.m. ready to leave,
got my bags packed last night.
It's not that intend to sneak out,
but I hate to say good-bye.
Catching the bus just in time,
passing the stations of my life,
staring at my reflection,
holding on to the ticket for the flight.
When I first thought about it
it felt strange and cold.
But you've got to dare something
soon you might be too old.
I trade off an uncertain future
against another one
- but what choice is left,
when all your options are gone?
City of dreams,
hope and fortune, for this I pray.
City of dreams,
my destiny, here I come to stay.
You will dream your way
I will dream my way
Just the other day
I passed our old school,
wasn't all that bad I thought
and I had to think of you.
Those summer days
and all those dreams in our heads
- me the astronaut
and you in my space bed…
Refrain
3 a.m. ready to leave,
got my bags packed last night.
It's not that intend to sneak out,
but I hate to say good-bye.
I'm leaving you in your beauty
and your useless pride.
I'm a thousand miles beyond you,
in the coming of the light.
You will dream your way
I will dream my way
You will dream your way
I will dream my way
