Out of the ruins and rubble Out of the smoke Out of our night of struggle Can we see a ray of hope? One pale thin ray reaching for the day We can build a beautiful city Yes, we can, yes, we can) We can build a beautiful city Not a city of angels But we can build a city of men We may not reach the ending But we can start Slowly but truly mending Brick by brick Heart by heart Now, maybe now We start learning how We can build a beautiful city Yes we can, yes, we can We can build a beautiful city Not a city of angels But we can build a city of men When your trust is all but shattered When your faith is all but killed You can give up bitter and battered Or you can slowly start to build! A beautiful city Yes, we can, yes, we can We can build a beautiful city Not a city of angels But finally a city of men A city of men
Out of the ruins and rubble Out of the smoke Out of our night of struggle Can we see a ray of hope? One pale thin ray reaching for the day... We can build a beautiful city Yes, we can(Yes, we can) We can build a beautiful city Not a city of angels But we can build a city of man We may not reach the ending But we can start Slowly but surely mending Brick by brick Heart by heart Now, maybe now We start learning how We can build a beautiful city Yes we can(Yes, we can) We can build a beautiful city Not a city of angels But we can build a city of man
Out of the ruins and rubble Out of the smoke Out of our night of struggle Can we see a ray of hope? One pale thin ray reaching for the day We can build a beautiful city Yes, we can; Yes, we can We can build a beautiful city Not a city of angels But we can build a city of man We may not reach the ending But we can start Slowly but truly mending Brick by brick, heart by heart Now, maybe now We start learning how We can build a beautiful city Yes, we can; Yes, we can We can build a beautiful city Not a city of angels But we can build a city of man When your trust is all but shattered When your faith is all but killed You can give up, bitter and battered Or you can slowly start to build A beautiful city Yes, we can; Yes, we can We can build a beautiful city Not a city of angels But finally a city of man.
