Coming through a cloud, you're looking at me from above
And I'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes.
And you find me beautiful and irresistible
A giant creature that forever seems to grow in size
And you feel a strange attraction
The air is vibrant and electrified…
Welcome to me, here I am, my arms are open wide!
Somewhere in the middle of the never-ending noise
There is a pulse, a steady rhythm of a heart that beats
And a million voices blend into a single voice
And you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets.
People come and take their chances
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose a lot…
Come, make your own contribution to this melting-pot.
I'm the street you walk
The language you talk
I am the city.
The skyline is me
And the energy
I am the city.
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
And the funny smells and the turmoil, of course
And the people, the air that you're breathing is me…
Yes, I am the city, you let me be!
People feed me with their lives, I am a hungry soul
And they all worship me and pay their homage day and night.
Every day I hear a lot of tired shopping feet
But come tonight
They will be dancing in the neon lights
Dazzled by the crazy magic
They're grabbing pieces of the fatted calf.
And in the wind if you listen hard
You'll hear me laugh
I'm the street you walk
The language you talk
I am the city.
The skyline is me
And the energy
I am the city.
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
And the funny smells and the turmoil, of course
And the people, the air that you're breathing is me…
Yes, I am the city, you let me be!..
