about

Solo performance by Andrew Hink of his composition about Philadelphia

lyrics

In the land between the Schuylkill and the Delaware there's a cloud of hope that fills the air
It rains upon the midnight day, in a promise that all will be ok
Under the watch of Billy Penn we live our lives and we live them again
So spend another hour in the city of brotherly love

A hot summer day in '76, some 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

J-walking, crowd stalking, the glamour of it all
Skyscrapers, newspapers, 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 tales, for the endings will never fail
Some look, but they are blind - for a new Athens of the mind
Spend another hour in the city of brotherly love

(Instrumental)

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 rains upon the midnight day, in a promise that all will be ok
Under the watch of Billy Penn we live our lives and we live them again
So spend another hour in the city of brotherly love

J-walking, crowd stalking, the glamour of it all
Skyscrapers, newspapers, catch the urban sprawl
Mixed feelings, your ceilings are bound to fall, don't fall away from me
