I'm looking over the skyline of the city
How loud quiet nights in the mist of crime
How next door to happiness lives sorrow
And signals of solution in the sky

(chorus)
A city of justice, a city of love, a city of peace
For everyone of us
We all need it, can't live without it
A Gotham City (oh yeah)

How sleeping awake because of fear. (ohh yeah)
How children are drowning in their tears
How we need a place where we can go
A land where every one will have a hero (even me)

(chorus 2x)
Yet in the middle of stormy weather
We won't stumble and we won't fall
I know a place where all this shelter..

(repeat chorus until end)
