lyrics

i remember the backroads
small towns and a small mentality
then you grow up, and then you grow out of things
but don't forget your roots your community
when i saw the city lights for the first time it was such a sight to see
and i thought everyone was beautiful, in a better place than me
but if you read between the lines and scratch beneath the surface
you'll be surprised at what you find beneath it's beyond belief
you can be the rose that rose from the concrete
what about community, small towns cities and unity

i thought you'd be the one...be the one to stay
to hear those words i'd want you to say
now i'm afraid that you and i we've ran out of time
so now i'm leaving you
