10,000 Maniacs

Once a City

This was once a city harmony a common theme

But these complications now make life a bit uneasy hallowed buildings scrape

The sky voices ride the airwaves once a city years gone

By will they still be standing in the centuries ahead going

Underground little children hiding,

Bullets never meant for them must there be such bloodshed in our hearts,

Our homes, our heads? will I be walking, walking so free?

This was a city once this was once a city harmony a common theme

But these complications once a city, once a dream
