Shine On

City, come alive under the glittering stars

Cars flashing by, leave behind electrifying and blazing trails of light.

So I shall watch you city, standing on a cliff so high

Watch you and feel alive.

Are you justified in looking so happy, crazy and alive?

While the men who made you strive in misery and make suffering their epitome of courage

But keep shining, dear city, keep shining.

If only to remind us of what we could be!
