Street Corner Symphony

For some reason, I really like this song. It makes me feel energetic, joyful and my spirit seems to "perk" whenever I hear it.

It was a song that was running through my head as we walked down the streets of NYC... the city just seemed to have a song of its own. The lyrics of the song remind me of the people of NYC... quite a blend of all different nationalities, race, color, religion. :) This song also reminds me of hope restored since 9-11 and how people have pulled together since then.

Now, what a nice melting pot! :)

° Streetcorner Symphony °

It's morning
I wake up
The taste of summer sweetness on my mind
It's a clear day
In this city
Let's go dance under the street lights
All the people in this world
Let's come together
More than ever
I can feel it
Can you feel it

Come on over
Down to the corner
My sisters and my brothers of every different color
Can't you feel that sunshine
telling you to hold tight
Things will be alright
Try to find a better life

Come on over
Down to the corner
My sisters and my brothers there for one another
Come on over
Man I know you wanna let yourself go

Some people
It's a pity
They go all their lives and never know
How to love or to let love go
But it's alright now
We'll make it through this somehow
And we'll paint the perfect picture
All the colors of this world will run together more than ever

I can feel it
Can you feel it
We may never find our reason to shine
But here and now this is our time
And I may never find the meaning of life
But for this moment I am fine
So....
