New York Lullaby

by Ben Grace

/

about

For a decade I'd tried to write a lullaby and never been able to crack it. Then one day it occurred to me to write one for the city that never sleeps.

lyrics

NEW YORK LULLABY

City that never sleeps
Wall street excess & eighty hour weeks
You bring the best of us to our knees

City of blinding lights
Rock bottom lows and dizzying highs
You make it hard for us to call you home

Brooklyn of broken dreams
Inspiring my melodies
You bring the best of us to our knees

City that's terrifying
And always gentrifying
You make it hard for us to call you home

City that never sleeps,
Tell me when do you dream?
