LA Hymn

Where every morning you count your friends
Every night talked off a ledge
You have faith in all the prayers sent
But prayers don’t pay the rent
Ones you love remind you of your age
Still paying dues ‘til your big break
When every call is a loaded gun
You hold your breath and just listen
Where you feel it written in the stars
City lights make seeing hard
Catching stars is the hardest part
When dreams live in your car
These are truly my best days
‘Cuz every chance that I take
To have faith in having faith
Every leap that I make
And do something each and every day
To remind this city why I’m here
When you see just how far you’ve come
You don’t give up, you don’t give up
