Once a City

This was once a city

Harmony a common theme

But these complications

Now make life a bit uneasyThis was once a city

Hallowed buildings, scrape the sky

Voices ride the airwaves

Once a city years gone byWill they still be standing

In the centuries ahead

Going undergroundLittle children hiding

Bullets never meant for them

Must there be such bloodshed in our hearts

Our homes, our heads?Will I be walking, walking so free?This was a city onceThis was once a city

Harmony a common theme

But these complications

Once a city, once a dream
