lyrics

Growing up in the big city
I know my way around already

I’m out here learning letters, numbers, and tricks
How to make a mess and clean up after it
When to give, or take, or even throw a fit

I’m growing up in the big city
I know my way around already

Millions of people everywhere I turn
Running in circles try’n to be first
They look so funny that I laugh till it hurts

I’m growing up in the big city
I’m a broken record but I’m still spinning

(break)

Growing up in the big city
I want to know if you’re still with me

At the bottom of the skyscrapers
No taller than a kitchen table
For any task I’m willing and able
As long as there’s a prize

A red ribbon and a crown of feathers
A tambourine for any type of weather
A hood and cape made of black leather
Now watch me disappear

Growing up in the big city
I’ve been stepped on but I’m still singing

Wishing that I was a butterfly
Blue, yellow, microscopic eyes
Or a falcon flying through the sky
Whistling in the wind

Chasing after those fat pigeons
So noble and quite delicious
I’m shooting up by mighty inches
Day by day by day

Growing up in the big city
I never knew it could be so friendly

I’m learning how to say thank you and please
If it doesn’t work I can beg or plead
For just one more of everything I see
Stacked so high above

In jars of lightning through a window of rain
Radio waves shooting out to space
I don’t ever want to lose my place

Growing up in the big city
I know my way around already
