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.
