Tattered clothes
Vacant eyes
Hungry mouths
Oft despised
But not by you
Most tolerant of cities
Bastion and refuge
Beacon of hope
Lost and alone
Begging bread
Weary of living
Scared of death
Not so, anymore
Most generous of cities
Bastion and refuge
Beacon of hope
Loving Hearts
Feeding orphans
Giving rest
Instilling purpose
Praise to you!
Most noble of cities
Bastion and refuge
Beacon of hope
Happy hearts
Of children procured
Orphans enrolled
Our future secured
Thanks to you
Most splendid of cities
Bastion and refuge
Beacon of hope
