Circus Lights by Heather Edgley Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She was a dreamer
Singing on swings at age 5
With no fears or inhibitions
Til they she’s no good
It’s not right
It’s an impossible dream
Impossible dream
So she sang in closets quietly
It’s an impossible dream
Impossible dream
Their voices in her mind
Played on repeat but

[Chorus 1]
The fire inside, the fire inside
It rises til she can’t fight it
The fire inside
They said she couldn’t do it
And crushed her pride
So she ran away
She couldn’t stay
In a mundanе life slowly dying inside
The music’s calling
Shе could see the glow on the horizon
Of the circus lights
Follow the circus lights
[Verse 2]
All magic and mystique
She sees it on tv
And billboards on streets
But that’ll never be you or me
They say stick to your lane
And you’ll succeed
It’s an impossible dream
Impossible dream
So she went off to college to study
Anything else
Her dreams they were shelved
But they’re just delaying
The inevitable cause

[Chorus 2]
The fire inside, the fire inside
It rises til she can’t fight it
She tried to hide it
Til she realized
She didn’t want anything else
So she ran away
She couldn’t stay
In a mundane life slowly dying inside
The music’s calling
She could see the glow on the horizon
Of the circus lights
Follow the circus lights
[Bridge]
So run away
Run away with me
Join the circus
In the land of impossible dreams
Cause if no one took the chance
There would be no songs to sing
They say it’s an impossible dream
Impossible dream
But here I am
Here I sing
It’s an impossible dream
Impossible dream
But here I stand
Here I scream

[Chorus 3]
Cause that fire inside, fire inside
It rises til we can’t fight it
No more hiding
It keeps your light from shining
This is our life
I ran away
I couldn’t stay
In a mundane life slowly dying inside
The music called me
I could see the glow on the horizon
Of the circus lights
Follow the circus lights
Follow the circus lights
Cause nothing ever felt so right
Follow the circus lights
