In the land between the Schuylkill and the Delaware
There’s a cloud of hope that fills the air
It reigns upon the midnight day in a promise that all will be OK
Under the watch of Billy Penn
We live our lives and then we live them again
So spend another hour in the city of brotherly love
A hot summer day in ’76
A group of Yankees made a devoted mix
You fought the vice of tyranny
In an effort to prove that all should be free
I lost the battle but you won the war
You hung together, so let’s explore
Another grand adventure in the city of brotherly love
Jay-walking, crowd stalking, the glamour of it all
Skyscrapers, Paine’s papers, catch the urban sprawl
Mixed feelings, your ceilings are bound to fall
Don’t fall away from me
A Broad Street day and the traffic is here
It’s time for us, let’s disappear
To South Street, and tell our tale – for the endings will never fail
Some look, but they are blind for a New Athens of the mind
Another grand adventure in the city of brotherly love
Celebrating freedom in the Rittenhouse
A friend of mine was singing out
It was banned and she became a victim of having too much fun
Caught in the rush of day to day, I’m left with only what I say
Philadelphia did you know that you are still the one?
In the land between the Schuylkill and the Delaware
There’s a cloud of hope that fills the air
It reigns upon the midnight day in a promise that all will be OK
Under the watch of Billy Penn, we live our lives and then we live them again
So spend another hour in the city of brotherly love
Another grand adventure in the city of brotherly love
Jay-walking, crowd stalking, the glamour of it all
Skyscrapers, Paine’s papers, catch the urban sprawl
Mixed feelings, your ceilings are bound to fall, but don’t fall away from me.
