The mayor delivers her annual speech to an assembled crowd of journalist and citizens.

lyrics

THE MAYOR:
We've worked hard many years
To make men out of you, to build towers to the sky and
We've broken many gears
We've done it all for you, we've done it all for you

And all I want
Is for you
To give us trust
And see this through

REPORTER 1:
Will the fog ever lift?

THE MAYOR:
In time

REPORTER 2:
Is the money changing hands?

THE MAYOR:
In time

REPORTER 3:
The streets are on fire!

THE MAYOR:
Don't look
You don't look

My promises to you
I promise I will take your hunger away
I promise I will bring it back
I promise I will take you children away
I promise I will bring them back

We've seen hard times, we've seen hard crimes
We've tasted blood, now close you eyes
All I want is for you
To give us trust and see this through

People raise your hands and sing praises to the land
People raise your hands and sing praise to the land

Yes!

THE CITIZENS:
No!

THE MAYOR:
We will build a wall!
Yes!

THE CITIZENS:
No!

THE MAYOR:
A thousand feet high!
Yes!

THE CITIZENS:
No!

THE MAYOR:
And it will never fall!
Yes!

THE CITIZENS:
No!

THE MAYOR:
And you will never die!
