Lyrics

I'm lookin' over the skyline of the city  
How loud quiet nights in the mist of crime  
How next door to happiness lives sorrow  
And signals of solution in the sky  
  
A city of justice, a city of love, a city of peace  
For everyone of us  
We all need it, can't live without it  
A Gotham City, oh yeah  
  
How sleepin' awake because of fear  
(Oh yeah)  
How children are drowning in their tears  
How we need a place where we can go  
A land where every one will have a hero  
(Even me)  
  
A city of justice, a city of love, a city of peace  
For everyone of us  
'Cause we all need it, yeah, can't live without it  
A Gotham City, oh yeah  
  
A city of justice, a city of love, a city of peace  
For everyone of us  
'Cause we all need it, can't live without it  
A Gotham City, oh yeah  
  
Yet in the middle of stormy weather  
We won't stumble and we won't fall  
I know a place that all this shelter  
  
City of justice, city of love, city of peace  
For everyone of us  
We all need it, can't live without it  
Gotham City, oh yeah  
  
We need a city of justice, city of love, city of peace  
For everyone of us  
We all need it, can't live without it  
Gotham City, oh yeah  
  
City of justice, city of love, city of peace  
For everyone of us  
Yes, we all need it, can't live without it  
Gotham City, oh yeah  
  
A Gotham City  
(Everybody needs Gotham City)  
Gotham City  
(Don't you want one, oh yeah)  
  
Come on, come on, Gotham City  
(Everybody needs Gotham City)  
A Gotham City  
(Don't you want one, oh yeah)  
  
Children sing  
  
A Gotham City  
A Gotham City  
A Gotham City
