There was a time, there was a time that I've known
When my work, when my films just weren't shown
Big city screens, big city dreams, remain
I did my good work while knowing it wasn't my time

Sometimes this world, sometimes this world has its cracks
I fell through, but I can do magic to turned backs
Big city screens, big city dreams, remain
I did my good work while knowing it wasn't my time

I know what it's like to be ignored forgotten
When yours is the name that doesn't come up too often
Big city screens, big city dreams, remain
I did my great work while knowing it wasn't my time
