Beautiful City
[JESUS]
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
We may not reach the ending
But we can start
Slowly but truly mending
Brick by brick
Heart by heart
Now maybe now
We start learning how
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
A city of man
