Moonlight’s bright tonight. Let’s go outside and play In the streets of the city. Morning’s far away.
We’ll dance in the streets, Race under the stars, Staring into the eyes Of oncoming cars.
They’ll tell us their wisdom In archetypical style Of the roles that we play And if we survive.
The dogs of the city, They howl and they fight, Then fortune they share For our hungry delight.
When morning comes early With its fresh silken dreams, We shake off the dust Of what we have seen.
We’ll feel the warm sun Wake our guarded souls, To feed us again As we make our way home.
Our lives have been spent Living other’s requests. Now is the time For our own conquests.
The streets of the city Are daring and sheer. Come with me now. Experience no fear.
Our couple has escaped the village where they grew up and moved to the big city to build a life. They learn and they grow in time and experience some success and realize there is still more out there for them to seek. Night serves as a symbol of the unknown future where we cannot see what is in front of us. The cars represent the challenges of life that we face and either overcome or allow them to run us over.
