Once there was a city
City as precious as time
Time of ancient beauty
Beauty as sweet as rhyme
*
Essence of the world
World of strife and wars
Wars freeze and crumple
Crumple at her doors
*
Charm, peace, and light
Light all night and day
Day trips in the sun
Sun of eternal ray
*
Meet the land of wonders
Wonders of timeless history
History is a good friend
Friend who keeps her mystery
*
People may seem simple
Simple is no shame
Shame you're still not coming
Coming soon is a claim
