In the city’s heart, where shadows grow,
Lives a tale not everyone knows,
Silent cries of dreams unmet,
In streets where hopes and fears are set.

Beneath the towering buildings’ gaze,
Lies a world of tangled, endless maze,
Where some are trapped in cycles deep,
In silent corners, their secrets keep.

Hands that toil yet gain so few,
Dreams deferred, skies not blue,
Voices drowned in the city’s roar,
Stories untold behind each door.

Yet hope flickers in the night,
A spark that dreams of taking flight,
For unity may bridge the divide,
And bring the outcasts to the other side.
