White City

Us Among men
In the plans of shifting lime
We stood beside
A foundation of space and time

What would you say
To a city built in Jackson Park?
Electric castles and
A promise kept of highest art

In our white city
We'll stroll together in
Streets of wax
Streets of plaster
In our white city
White with wonder and
Heights of greatness and
Nights asunder

Down to the wire
Time is running out on our project
World, look to us
Find a model of what's not thought yet

In our white city
We'll stroll together
In streets of wax
Streets of plaster
In our white city
White with wonder and
Heights of greatness and
Nights asunder

How beautiful is beauty
When it's only temporary
A decade a century stands still
In the white city of our will

Raise and be raised
Our hands face up and our faces forward
Show us the beauty
Show us where we aim our story

In our white city
We'll stroll together
In streets of wax
Streets of plaster
In our white city
White with wonder and
Heights of greatness and
Nights asunder
In our white city
Of domes and girders
We can fall but
The fall won't hurt us
