In a world lit only by fire

Long train of flares under piercing stars

I stand watching the steamliners roll by



The caravan thunders onward

To the distant dream of the city

The caravan carries me onward

On my way at last

On my way at last



I can't stop thinking big

I can't stop thinking big



On a road lit only by fire

Going where I want, instead of where I should



I peer out at the passing shadows

Carried through the night into the city

Where a young man has a chance of making good



A chance to break from the past

The caravan thunders onward

Stars winking through the canvas hood

On my way at last



In a world where I feel so small

I can't stop thinking big
