Lyrics
Gotham City
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm looking over the skyline of the city
How loud quiet nights in the mist of crime
How next door the happiness lives sorrow
And signals of solution in the sky
A city of justice, a city of love, a city of peace
For every one of us
We all need it, can't live without it
Gotham City (oh, yeah)
How sleeping awake because of fear (oh, yeah)
How children are drowning in their tears
How we need a place where we can go
A land where every one will have a hero (even me)
Yet in the middle of stormy weather
We won't stumble and won't fall
I know a place where all this shelter
