Lyrics
[Instrumental Break, Saxophone]
[Verse 1]
Walking down through shadowed streets,
Where the lost and lonely meet.
Others see the dirt, the grime,
He finds beauty, sublime.
[Chorus]
Lights on the avenue, shine through the haze,
Illuminating nights, brightening days.
Every face, every scene holds a story to be told,
In the darkest places, he finds gold.
[Instrumental Break, Synthesizer]
[Verse 2]
Past graffiti's vibrant cries,
He sees art that never dies.
Through the alleys, 'neath the moon,
Life's a song in gentle tune.
[Chorus]
Lights on the avenue, shine through the haze,
Illuminating nights, brightening days.
Every face, every scene holds a story to be told,
In the darkest places, he finds gold.
[Instrumental Break, Acoustic Guitar]
[Verse 3]
Neon lights, a soft guitar,
An open door to a hidden bar.
Laughter spills into the night,
In the darkness, he finds light.
[Chorus]
Lights on the avenue, shine through the haze,
Illuminating nights, brightening days.
Every face, every scene holds a story to be told,
In the darkest places, he finds gold.
[Verse 4]
He walks where angels fear to tread,
Among the whispers of the dead.
Yet in each step, a beat of hope,
Down these streets, he helps us cope.
[Chorus]
Lights on the avenue, shine through the haze,
Illuminating nights, brightening days.
Every face, every scene holds a story to be told,
In the darkest places, he finds gold.
[Instrumental Break, Piano]
[Outro] [Instrumental Break, Full Band]
So he strolls, never blind to the chances,
In the night's embrace, he finds life dances.
Through his eyes, the world anew,
Where shadows fall, the light comes through.
[End]
