Lyrics | The Heart of the City
4. The Heart of the City
Seaside, lakeside or on the river
boats come and go take away and deliver
goods we buy and goods we sell
look at the water fall under it’s spell
it’s powerful, it’s practical, it’s so pretty
wherever it is it’s the heart of the city
it’s where people always live
for the food and trade the water gives
whether lake river or ocean
people love to look at it’s motion
it’s powerful, it’s practical, it’s so pretty
wherever it is it’s the heart of the city
the heart, watch it flow
the heart, boats come and go
the heart, everybody knows
the heart, yes the heart of the city
people walk by it, talk by it , laugh with their friends by it
boat on it, float on it, skate in their coats on it
fish in it, swim in it, put their bare feet in it
eat by it, sleep by it , soak in the sun by it
bait your hook, cast your line
fishin’s a wonderful way to waste time
skipping stones counting frogs
looking at turtles sitting on logs
it’s powerful, it’s practical, it’s so pretty
wherever it is it’s the heart of the city
