In the quiet streets where no lights shine
The hands that build this city
Work and give life in overtime
Dreams buried deep beneath the dust
But no one sees no one feels
Far from the neon lights where the city fades
A song of hope in the endless days
They walk alone but their hearts still fight
Far from the neon lights in the night
The immigrant's story untold but true
Their homes are far away
They can forget their skies are so blue
They carry the weight in silent pain
But no one hears them in the rain
Far from the neon lights where the city fades
A song of hope in the endless days
They walk alone but their hearts still fight
Far from the neon lights in the night
Invisible hands they build and break
But they rise again for their children's sake
The world may turn but they remain
In the quiet streets they still sustain
Far from the neon lights where their stories glow
A fight for love in the undertow
They rise again with their hearts held tight
Far from the neon lights tonight
In the silent streets they still survive
Far from the neon lights alive
