[00:23.70]Grim faced and forbidding
[00:26.54]Their faces closed tight
[00:28.27]An angular mass of New Yorkers
[00:32.42]Pacing in rhythm
[00:34.02]Race the oncoming night
[00:36.00]They chase through the streets of Manhattan
[00:39.69]Head first humanity
[00:42.59]Pause at a light
[00:44.20]Then flow through the streets of the city
[00:48.33]They seem oblivious
[00:51.33]To a soft spring rain, like an English rain
[00:58.33]So light, yet endless from a leaden sky
[01:05.15]The buildings are lost
[01:08.57]In their limitless rise
[01:12.18]My feet catch the pulse
[01:15.53]And the purposeful stride
[01:19.46]I feel the sense of possibilities
[01:23.59]I feel the wrench of hard realities
[01:27.53]The focus is sharp in the city
[01:31.95]Wide angle watcher
[01:34.90]On life's ancient tales
[01:37.89]Steeped in the history of London
[01:42.06]Green and gray washes
[01:44.97]In a wispy white veil
[01:47.45]Mist in the streets of Westminster
[01:51.35]Wistful and weathered
[01:54.12]The pride still prevails
[01:56.68]Alive in the streets of the city
[02:00.80]Are they oblivious
[02:03.96]To this quality?
[02:06.66]A quality of light unique
[02:10.55]To every city streets
[02:13.68]Pavements may teem
[02:16.89]With intense energy
[02:20.00]But the city is calm
[02:23.14]In this violent sea
[02:26.79]I feel the sense of possibilities
[02:30.82]I feel the wrench of hard realities
[02:34.79]The focus is sharp in the city

Grim faced and forbidding
Their faces closed tight
An angular mass of New Yorkers
Pacing in rhythm
Race the oncoming night
They chase through the streets of Manhattan
Head first humanity
Pause at a light
Then flow through the streets of the city
They seem oblivious
To a soft spring rain, like an English rain
So light, yet endless from a leaden sky
The buildings are lost
In their limitless rise
My feet catch the pulse
And the purposeful stride
I feel the sense of possibilities
I feel the wrench of hard realities
The focus is sharp in the city
Wide angle watcher

Alive in the streets of the city
