Light In July
Sun beaming down
upon the land
Echoes of a thousand
dawns reach out to me
I see children playing in the grass
And have sent them my love
I see workers building our city
I see students from foreign lands
Working hard to make it here in the USA
THEN - a light appears in the July night
Cuts into the soul of this city dweller and
thousands of his fellow city dwellers
People looking for love
in the urban night
find each other
Wrap you arms around me, Gotham,
So I can taste joy
in this metropolis we call home
