This shining city on a hill
It is just over the horizon
The city is there waiting
It longs for citizens
Today the city is hidden by fireworks
On other days it is ignored
So much TV to watch and money to make
The city can't compete with crass longing
It has a higher purpose
A few will aspire to it
Maybe someday it will be occupied
But now we ignore it for firecrackers
