Tour the area

I still recall that grand old sight
The public halls that stood in light
Each building told a tale so deep
Where voices worked and dreams would keep
Steps we took toward the global stage
Sharing cultures page by page
To bring true rights to every face
Both public and private must share this place
Here we stand on this growing road
Maps in hand as paths unfold
With transit lines and streets that guide
We make the way for all to ride
This city where journeys all begin
Each region shines from deep within
With welcome signs and places to rest
We open hearts with every guest
Funds that reach from central grace
Grow stronger roots in every place
With open books and people's right
Together we build a future bright
Life blossoms near these lasting walls
Where people pass through civic halls
Dreams of self-reliant ground
With budgets where the people count
Follow roads and travel lines
Where every step leaves hopeful signs
On this map our dreams appear
A future drawn by those who steer
Here we stand on this growing road
Maps in hand as paths unfold
With transit lines and streets that guide
We make the way for all to ride
This city where journeys all begin
Each region shines from deep within
With welcome signs and places to rest
We open hearts with every guest
Funds that reach from central grace
Grow stronger roots in every place
With open books and people's right
Together we build a future bright
Each region holds its own true light
We build together day and night
From cities wide to towns so small
We make a life that lifts us all
