I Am the City

Coming through a cloud, you're looking at me from above

And I'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes

And you find me beautiful and irresistible

A giant creature that forever seems to grow in size

And you feel a strange attraction

The air is vibrant and electrified

Welcome to me, here I am

My arms are open wide

Somewhere in the middle of the never ending noise

There is a pulse, a steady rhythm of a heart that beats

And a million voices blend into a single voice

And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets

People come and take their chances

Sometimes you win

Sometimes you lose a lot

Come make your own

Contribution to this melting pot

I'm the street you walk

The language you talk

I am the city

The skyline is me

And the energy

I am the city

The famous hotels

And the cocktail bars

And the funny smells

And the turmoil of cars

And the people

The air that you're breathing is me

Yes, I am the city

You let me be

People feed me with their lives, I am a hungry soul

And they all worship me and pay their homage day and night

Everyday I hear a lot of tired, shuffling feet

But come tonight they will be dancing in the neon light

Dazzled by the crazy magic

They're grabbing pieces of the fatted calf

And in the wind if you listen hard

You'll hear me laugh

I'm the street you walk

The language you talk

I am the city

The skyline is me

And the energy

I am the city

The famous hotels

And the cocktail bars

And the funny smells

And the turmoil of cars

And the people, the parks

And the squares that you see

All the sounds that you hear

And the air that you're breathing is me

Yes, I am the city, you let me be

I am the city, you let me be

I am the city

The famous hotels

And the cocktail bars

And the funny smells

And the turmoil of cars

And the people

The air that you're breathing is me

Looking from above

And I'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes

I'm the street you walk

The language you talk

I am the city

I am the city, you let me be

And you find me beautiful and irresistible

A giant creature that forever seems to grow in size

The skyline is me

And the energy

I am the city

You let me be

Somewhere in the middle of the never ending noise

There is a pulse, a steady rhythm of a heart that beats

I'm the street you walk

The language you talk

I am the city

Yes, I am the city

You let me be

And a million voices blend into a single voice

And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets

The skyline is me

And the energy

I am the city

You let me be
