City Of Dreams Lyrics

David Wilcox

From the top of the towers, you could see past the narrows
Past our lady of the harbor to the broad, open sea
See the curve of the earth on the vast, blue horizon
From the world's greatest city in the land of the free

All the brave men and women that you never would notice
From the precincts and fire halls, the first on the scene
Storming into the buildings on the side of the angels
They were gone in an instant in the belly of the beast

We are children of slavery, children of immigrants
Remnants of tribes and their tired refugees

As the walls tumble down, we are stronger together
Stronger than we ever knew we could be
As strong as that statue that stands for the promise
Of liberty, here in this city of dreams, liberty, here in this city of dreams

All the flags on front porches and banners of unity
Spanning the bridges from the top of the fence
As we heal up the wounds and take care of each other
There's more love in this nation than hate and revenge
