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 

Coming through a cloud 
You're looking at me 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 
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 

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 

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
