Light In July

Sun beaming down 
   upon the land 
       Echoes of a thousand 
dawns reach out to me 
I see children playing in the grass
And have sent them my love 
I see workers building our city 
I see students from foreign lands 
Working hard to make it here in the USA
THEN - a light appears in the July night 
Cuts into the soul of this city dweller and 
thousands of his fellow city dwellers
People looking for love 
in the urban night 
find each other
Wrap you arms around me, Gotham, 
So I can taste joy 
in this metropolis we call home
