in the shadows of the night i used to hide

memories of you they kept me paralyzed

every word every touch every stolen glance

i held them close but they only brought me pain

but time has a way of showing us the truth

that holding on can sometimes be our youth

the past is a ghost it haunts us in our dreams

but it's time to wake up to find what life means

conquer me why oh New York i let the past be gone

in the light of day we'll find where we belong

no more looking back no more holding tight

with every step forward we'll find the light

the echoes of our love they fade away

but the strength we found is here to stay

through the tears and fears we've grown so much

now it's time to rise to find our touch

the scars of yesterday they're part of who we are

but they don't define us they're just a scar

the future's bright it's waiting just ahead

with courage in our hearts we'll break the thread

conquer me why oh New York i let the past be gone

in the light of day we'll find where we belong

no more looking back no more holding tight

with every step forward we'll find the light

we walk through fire we face the storm

but now we're ready to move on and transform

the chains of yesterday they're falling down

with every breath we take we're breaking ground conquer me why

for who young can let the past be gone

in the light of day we'll find where we belong

no more looking back

no more holding tight

with every step forward we'll find the light

so here's to the future

to the dreams we'll chase

with hearts wide open we'll find our place come go

you are to your god it's time to rise

in the dawn of tomorrow we'll touch the skies
