I will stand tall
With my head held high
My hair blown in front of my determined eyes
I look out to the dark
The city of lights
In this dark world where I stand,
Life has taken me down
Once
Twice
Breaking is easy
But getting up is the hardest thing to do
Because I have no help even if you want to
Slipping into pain
The steep slope of the hill
Below is the lights of streetlamps
Windows and cars
Invisible to the world I am
But I will stand strong
The tears have run out
The pain is gone
My fragile heart
Has stronger thread
The scars are here
But have healed
The world has made cracks
In this soul of mine
But I will not
I refuse
To be taken apart another time
Once
Twice
I look over this city
My city
In my past
I never broke down here
It is safety
Safety never lasts
My city of lights
Where I stand strong
Where I stand tall
Where I will never fall
Because
once
twice
Of a broken body is too much to bare
The city I see
That you hold close to your heart
Reminds me of home
Where my story starts
I stand strong
I stand tall
I will not fall
This city I see
Will help me be
Because a third time will kill me.
My city of lights
My city of hope
My city of life
Philadelphia
Your city of light
Hope
and life
I guess is alright.....
Baltimore
