Many million people               go about their lives
Hustling in the bustle            like bees about their hives.

A city full of stories            like a mighty, ancient book
More characters develop           every time you take a look.

Shining, glowing apple            for the fairest of them all
Growing on the tree-branch        and the fruit may never fall.

Bordering two oceans,             only one that you can see.
Thriving on them both;            one the nation, one the sea.

Pulse of economics,               market prices fall and rise.
Empire, trade and nations         stand United in our eyes.

If I'd one hopeful wish           for Time, this is what it'd be:
While Lady Liberty's              light glows, it shines on this city.
