New York Dreams

Santajah Douglass

In New York City, I had the time of my life
The city that never sleeps, open your eyes to strife
But amongst the chaos, there's beauty to find
In the sights and sounds of a city so kind

As I prance the streets, with "The City is Yours" by Jamie Foxx in my ears
I realize why New York City is special, and my fears
Melt away in the energy that never dies
I listen to part II of "Empire State of Mind" by Alicia Keys, and my dreams rise

A pocket full of dreams, not as impossible as they seem
In New York City, where the concrete jungle gleams
With opportunities and possibilities endless
These streets light a fire in me, so relentless

So let's hear it for New York, New York, New York
The city where dreams are made, where you can soar
There's nothing you can't do, in this vibrant place
Where inspiration lies in every corner, every face

From Central Park's green oasis, to Times Square's bright lights
From Broadway's iconic theaters, to the buzzing heights
Of the Empire State Building, standing tall
A symbol of the dreams that can come true for all

The Statue of Liberty beckons, a symbol of hope
A reminder that in this city, you can always cope
With challenges and struggles, you can rise above
And find your true self, discover your true love

In the bustling streets of Chinatown, Little Italy
The diverse cultures blend, creating a symphony
Of languages, traditions, and flavors so rich
In this melting pot, there's always a niche

The museums and galleries, where art comes alive
The music and theater, where talents thrive
In every corner, there's something new to explore
A city so full of life, never a bore

The food scene, a culinary delight
From hot dogs on the street, to gourmet bites
From food trucks to Michelin-starred restaurants
In New York City, your taste buds dance

The hustle and bustle, the constant motion
This city that never sleeps, a potion
Of energy and excitement that fuels your dreams
In New York City, nothing is as it seems

From the High Line's elevated park, to the Brooklyn Bridge
The city's landmarks, a privilege
To witness and experience, a visual feast
In New York City, every moment is a masterpiece

So as I walk these streets, with a heart full of joy
I know that in New York City, I am truly alive
With each step, I feel more connected
To this city that never sleeps, where dreams are protected

In New York City, I had the time of my life
A city that never sleeps, where dreams take flight
So let's hear it for New York, New York, New York
Where anything is possible, and the energy never darkens or starkens.
