The World's Big Apple
From an awesome fountain, teeming with life
Out of her depths arose a city of lights
Built upon the shoulders of native sons
A place of hope, liberty, and freedom invites
For centuries her gates have been open wide
Welcoming hoards of strangers from afar
Bringing multiple cultures, traditions, cuisines and skills
Now a “melting pot”, a bright, twinkling star
Her people once thought of as cold, and uncaring
On broad streets, and alleys, the death toll was high
Now a change of heart for the better is born in
The world's "Big Apple" reaching to the sky
