KID FROM THE PROVINCE nova music nova original

The road looks smaller now Than it did back then The trees still line the highway Like familiar old friends The old store's still standing The fields still touch the sky And suddenly it feels Like no time has passed by Every mile I traveled Every stage I played Led me back To where the dream was made I'm still that kid from the province Still chasing songs in the dark Still carrying every memory That first ignited the spark I'm still that kid from the province No matter how far I've gone Because the roads that made me who I am Still live inside these songs I've seen a thousand city lights I've played before the crowds I've heard complete strangers Sing my lyrics back out loud But none of those moments Ever changed what's true The dream got bigger But the dreamer still shines through The city gave me opportunity The music gave me meaning But home gave me roots I'm still that kid from the province Still chasing songs in the dark Still carrying every memory That first ignited the spark I'm still that kid from the province No matter how far I've gone Because the roads that made me who I am Still live inside these songs Success wasn't the spotlight Success wasn't the fame Success was holding onto myself Through every single change Every setback Every victory Every night I thought I'd fall Was another piece of the story That connected all I left this place To find my future I never expected To find myself And now I know The dream was never Escaping where I came from The dream was carrying it with me I'm still that kid from the province Still chasing songs in the dark Still carrying every memory That first ignited the spark I'm still that kid from the province And now the whole world can see The boy who stood beside the highway Became everything he dreamed to be I'm still that kid from the province And through every rising song The place that gave me my first dream Has been with me all along Whoa-oh-oh... Whoa-oh-oh... Kid from the province... Whoa-oh-oh... Whoa-oh-oh... Still carrying the dream... The lights grow distant... The music remains... And somewhere beside that highway... A new dream begins...
