Beautiful City

Out of the ruins and rubble

Out of the smoke

Out of our night of struggle

Can we see a ray of hope?

One pale thing ray reaching for the day..

We can build a beautiful city.

Yes we can, yes we can.

We can build a beautiful city

Not a city of angels

but we can build a city of man.

We may not reach the ending

But we can start

Slowly but truly mending

Brick by brick, heart by heart.

Now, maybe now, we start learning how.

We can build a beautiful city.

Yes we can, yes we can.

We can build a beautiful city

Not a city of angels

but we can build a city of man.

When your trust is all but shattered

When your faith is all but killed

You can give up bitter and battered

Or you can slowly start to build...

A beautiful city.

Yes we can, yes we can.

We can build a beautiful city

Not a city of angels

but we can build a city of man.
