City of Human Kind by MoonWolf I sat today and watched your way— Some rushed past, some chose to stay. A man asked coins to buy his bread, Others hurried on instead. Men in suits with eyes down low, Children watching grown-ups go. Beggars searching, lives undone, Girls laughed, a thief had run. Crowds queuing, taxis flash, Policemen pacing, brief eye clash. Some walked mindful, breathing slow, Others lonely, nowhere to go. [Chorus] People of all kinds appear, One race—called human—gathered here. Old, young, dark, light, strong, small— And love? I saw it in them all. A painter bent with brush in hand, A flute’s soft song across the stand. The rich, the poor, the right, the wrong— All carried in the city’s song. Just a moment, yet a day, A lifetime seemed to walk my way. From city heat to country night, I left with silence, stars, and light.

City of human kind
City of Human Kind by MoonWolf I sat today and watched your way— Some rushed past, some chose to stay. A man asked coins to buy his bread, Others hurried on instead. Men in suits with eyes down low, Children watching grown-ups go. Beggars searching, lives undone, Girls laughed, a thief had run. Crowds queuing, taxis flash, Policemen pacing, brief eye clash. Some walked mindful, breathing slow, Others lonely, nowhere to go. [Chorus] People of all kinds appear, One race—called human—gathered here. Old, young, dark, light, strong, small— And love? I saw it in them all. A painter bent with brush in hand, A flute’s soft song across the stand. The rich, the poor, the right, the wrong— All carried in the city’s song. Just a moment, yet a day, A lifetime seemed to walk my way. From city heat to country night, I left with silence, stars, and light.
