Empire Songtext
von Lucy Spraggan

Another night in New York
I find it hard to stand tall
The skyscrapers, they do just fine
Another stage, a spotlight
The empty streets, the late nights
They ask me why I waste my time

′Cause I wanna build a place, an empire
It's taking shape, it′s worth the wait

I see my name in those stars
Walking down the boulevard
I've believed it all my life
Which billboard would I choose
In the land of the Delta Blues?
I know I have to get this right


'Cause I wanna build a place, an empire
It′s taking shape, it′s worth the wait
'Cause we′re gonna build a place, an empire
I always believed it was waiting for me

They said the label might come to my show tonight
And this feels like my time to shine
I laid it on the line
And something's changed tonight
I′ll be standing tall this time

I wanna build a world, an empire
It's taking shape, it′s worth the wait
'Cause we're gonna build the world, an empire
I always believed it was waiting for me
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!)

I went and built a world, an empire
I always believed it was waiting for me
