The city was alive in the middle of the night
A sleepless city, bustling like the light of day
Though the night air was still, the cities streets, alight
Still, you could feel the hustle and bustle of the night
The street lights reflected on the pavement below
The taxis honking, the people walking and talking
You could feel the city alive and in motion
The night air like a lullaby of sound, so soothing
There was something special in that sleepless city
A presence that seemed to be everywhere
It was alive, awake, and wanting to be seen
A silent chorus of a city's life, and it was a dream
The city was in love with its own sleepless life
The past and present, all together in one place
Every street corner, every intersection, a warm embrace
A city that never sleeps, always alive in the night.
