Beautiful City (From "Godspell")
Out of the ruins and rubble
Out of the smoke
Out of our night of struggle
Can we see a ray of hope
One pale thin ray reaching for the day?
We can build a beautiful city
Yes, we can, yes, we can
We can build a beautiful city
Not a city of angels
But we can build a city of man
We may not reach the ending
But we can start
Slowly but truly mending
Brick by brick (brick by brick)
Heart by heart (heart by heart)
Now, maybe now
We start learning how
We can build a beautiful city
Yes, we can, yes, we can
We can build a beautiful city
Not a city of angels
But we can build a city of man
When your trust is all but shattered
When your faith is all but killed
You can give up bitter and battered
Or you can slowly start to build
A beautiful city
Yes, we can, yes, we can
We can build a beautiful city
Not a city of angels
But finally a city of man
(Ooh) a city of man
(Ooh) a city of man
Out of the smoke
Out of our night of struggle
Can we see a ray of hope
One pale thin ray reaching for the day?
We can build a beautiful city
Yes, we can, yes, we can
We can build a beautiful city
Not a city of angels
But we can build a city of man
We may not reach the ending
But we can start
Slowly but truly mending
Brick by brick (brick by brick)
Heart by heart (heart by heart)
Now, maybe now
We start learning how
We can build a beautiful city
Yes, we can, yes, we can
We can build a beautiful city
Not a city of angels
But we can build a city of man
When your trust is all but shattered
When your faith is all but killed
You can give up bitter and battered
Or you can slowly start to build
A beautiful city
Yes, we can, yes, we can
We can build a beautiful city
Not a city of angels
But finally a city of man
(Ooh) a city of man
(Ooh) a city of man
