RISE UP OH GILDED PLACE


Behold your storied canyons
Your heartbeat so strong,
It energizes your minions and
Moves the world along.

You rise up like the majestic sun
Your golden rays shine down on all,
You are Gotham, City of life
The world heeds when you call.

There is no place quite like you
As you stand there so strong,
Your arts and your numbers grow
And build tomorrow along.

You speak so many languages
So many cultures thrive,
From foreign shores they come
And here they stay alive.

Oh hear the sounds of progress as
The people come and go, filling the
Mighty Gotham with its horns
On traffic blow.

Your mighty backs are strained
And their minds are filled with need,
Your ships your planes your trucks
Come and leave with equal speed.

When the world no longer copes
And the people quit the race,
You stand up alone Gotham
And rise up oh gilded place.
