Lyrics
City of Lights Lyrics by Carlos Redman Ó 2008 Over on the east Youth battle with the beast Deceased, May they rest in peace First poverty Now we have to grieve In the city of lights Refrain: In the city of lights Where dreams take flight in the night To deal with our blight Barrios and ghettos overflow In the city of lights Over on the west Another death where they dress Them in their Sunday best Laid to rest It’s all so senseless In the city of lights Refrain: In the city of lights Where dreams take flight in the night (Solo) Her baby’s gone home His heart no longer roams The city alone Where times are hard And dreams just fall apart In the city of lights Refrain: In the city of lights Where dreams take flight in the night To deal with our blight Barrios and ghettos overflow In the city of lights (It’s gonna be alright Interlude) Stand up on your feet ‘Cause he has blessed the meek Indeed, when the will is weak Where barrios and ghettos overflow In the city of lightTo deal with our blight Barrios and ghettos overflow In the city of lights
