Stephen Schwartz — Beautiful City

[JESUS] [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 A city of man
