New York I know you're taking a beating
We're here to hold it down
I still have a dream
A dream about a dream of a city
The city of a dream
A world in a city
In everyone a dream
Turns out, to them, being here was only a commodity
There's never been camaraderie
The dream is still a dream
Sometimes it is a nightmare
The dream of a city
The most beautiful city in a dream
