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
