Once upon a long gone time
When the hills of far away
Danced in the moonlit woods
And the elves came out to play
Once upon a long gone time
When the city slept sound and safe
Skyscrapers befriended heavens
And the angels lay awake
Today she stands and looks ahead
The map has thoroughly changed
Crossroads await her very first step
And the whole world seems estranged
She hears a shout of victory
She hears a cry of defeat
She trudges in broken streets with the poor
She walks amongst the elite
Chaos and confusion stain her path
She grows too weary to care
She plans to never give up the fight
And battles on through the years
