Noise
There’s a new noise in the air
A noise my ears are unatoned to
A noise undeard of in our small sound
A noise much greater than my hometown
A noise much louder, more diverse, more
Energetic coming from all streets and corners,
Buildings, people and traffic
The city is large and full of opportunity
There’s a noise calling out
Opening my ears saying
Welcome to New York,
Welcome to the land of opportunity
