10,000 Maniacs - Once A City lyrics

This was once a city Harmony a common theme But these complications Now make life a bit uneasy This was once a city Hallowed buildings, scrape the sky Voices ride the airwaves Once a city years gone by Will they still be standing In the centuries ahead Going underground Little children hiding Bullets never meant for them Must there be such bloodshed in our hearts Our homes, our heads? Will I be walking, walking so free? This was a city once This was once a city Harmony a common theme But these complications Once a city, once a dream
