so many people
rushing active and varied
whether you have somewhere
or nowhere to go

the city a place where the American dream awaits

lives to build
stories to construct
commerce to buy
festivities to attend
food to consume
it all happens in

the city a place where the American dream awaits

then you see it
all the culture, the landmarks
clean and dirty
residents themselves
define their city
a place where

their american dreams come alive
