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 neverending noise

There is a constant 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 the 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

Every day I knew a lot of tired shopping feet

But come the night 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 the 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 the cars and the people

The air that you're breathing is me



'(Last line is sung simultaneously with next line)'



Coming through a cloud

You're looking at me from above

And I'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes



(Last line is sung simultaneously with next line)



I'm the street you walk

The language you talk

I am the city

Yes 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



(Last line is sung simultaneously with next line)



The skyline is me and the energy

I am the city



You let me be



Somewhere in the middle of the neverending noise

There is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beats



(Last line is sung simultaneously with next line)



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



(Last line is sung simultaneously with next line)



The skyline is me and the energy

I am the city



You let me be
