Tower
Cary Pierce Lyrics

In this city I am alone,
Despite being surrounded by people and buildings, the singer feels disconnected and alone.

But I know that she is here somewhere,
The singer has hope that there is someone out there for them despite feeling lonely.

Statues of light;
The bright lights of the city resemble statues, standing tall and shining bright.

A sea of yellow, black, and green
The city is filled with yellow taxi cabs, black cars, and green traffic lights, which create a visual 'sea' below the singer.

I watch from the tower
The singer is observing the city from the high vantage point of a tower.

Doorman's awake,
The doorman is on duty and alert.

Millions below,
There are millions of people living below the tower where the singer is looking out.

But no-ones been here for days
Despite being surrounded by so many people, no one has been by the tower for a while.

Giants block out the sun
The skyscrapers in the city are so tall that they cast shadows and prevent sunlight from shining everywhere.

So little light for everyone
Because of the high buildings, there is limited natural light available to everyone on the streets below.

Old man on the other side of town,
The singer sees an old man who lives far away from them.

Lady doctor two doors down,
There is a female doctor who lives very close to where the singer is.

Woman crying in the park,
The singer notices a woman who is crying while sitting alone in a park.

Sits alone in the dark
The woman is sitting in a park where it has gotten dark outside.

Crying from the tower
The singer feels empathy for the woman from their high vantage point in the tower and wishes they could do something to help her.

I'm ready to love,
The singer is open and willing to give love to someone else.

I'm ready to breathe,
The singer is ready to take in deep breaths and live life to the fullest.

I'm ready to give more than I receive,
The singer wants to be a selfless giver and provide more for others than they receive in return.

I've lived long enough
The singer has been alive for a significant amount of time and has gained wisdom and experience from their life.

But long as I am,
The singer will continue to live and persevere, no matter their age or circumstances.

Though nothings deserved,
Even if the singer feels like they haven't earned anything, they are still willing to share their love and kindness with others.

I feel it again
The singer is experiencing hope and love once again, even after feeling lonely before.
