city of cities

living here for years and years

riding out the stormy weather

we're waiting for the day to come

that gets us back together

in the city of cities

you may think you're alone

then you turn a corner

and there's a new wind blowing

there's a dream we'd forgotten

that we've known all along

where the street and the avenue meet

the heart beats strong

looking out for number one

looking past each others eyes

has made us blind for far too long

now the sun is bound to rise

in the city of cities

you may think you're alone

then you turn a corner

and there's a new wind blowing

there's a dream we'd forgotten

that we've known all along

where the street and the avenue meet

the heart beats strong

a message of hope

a message of peace

a message of helping each other

is all the message we need

in the city of cities

you may think you're alone

then you turn a corner

and there's a new wind blowing

there's a dream we'd forgotten

that we've known all along

where the street and the avenue meet

the heart beats strong

where the street and the avenue meet

the heart beats strong

in the city of cities
