letra de mr. nobody from nowhere - gatsby: an american myth

[jay gatsby]
i watched her float off into the night:
the ghost of my heart
now somehow come to life
a miracle, physical, drawn here by the lights
i always kept ‘em burning bright
hoping one day this moment would arrive
i build it higher
i made it blaze
so that all the city would know my name
i searched the face of every stranger
finally it came
everything i’ve done, everything i’ve missed
my whole life has been leading up to this
and it’s so close now, i can’t let it slim
just one mistake and it may fall from my grip
oh, what it takes to make them believe it
no one can know what it takes to achieve it
i made my way;
pulled myself up everyday
tried honest work, didn’t get paid
and i knew no one would notice if i dropped
another faceless man
another heart that stopped
i went to war
i tried to die
but here i am, i’m still alive
a never ending wave of artillery
shots fired!
always aiming at me
but i won’t be swept away like nothing
another body lost to history
like i never even happened
like i never even mattered
ground to dust, just disappeared
“mr. nothing from nowhere lies here.”
i always kept myself apart
afraid to move out of the dark
a shadow in a tailored suit
a myth, a name, somebody new
but as the lights go out inside the house
something feels much brighter now
and everything i’ve ever dreamed seems closer than it’s ever been
somehow
everything i’ve done
everything i’ve build
my whole life has been leading up to this!
and it’s so close now, i can’t let it slip
can’t let this moment fall from my grip
oh, what it takes to make them believe it
no one can know what it takes to achieve it
to build something so big
breaking records from years
no longer running
no longer haunted by the fear
‘cause from all around
it would be so clear
that somebody from somewhere is here!
