"Seattle, City of The Silver Sound"
[Verse 1]
From Discovery Park's windswept hills
Where eagles ride the breeze
Past lighthouse beams and driftwood dreams
Along the Salish seas
The city rises through the mist
Like jewels strung on jade
While Cascades guard the eastern sky
In morning's light parade
[Chorus]
City of the silver sound
Where two worlds interweave
Mountains touch the urban ground
Where dreamers still believe
In spaces wild and spaces new
In rhythms old and strong
Where nature's heart beats through and through
The city's evening song
[Verse 2]
Alki Beach at break of day
Olympic peaks in view
While kayaks slip through morning calm
On waters mirror-blue
The skyline glows like amber ice
Against the mountain wall
As ferry horns sound deep and low
Their melancholy call
[Verse 3]
Through Ballard Locks where salmon leap
Past ships from distant shores
While houseboats dance on Lake Union
Near Fremont's artsy doors
The drawbridges rise like metal wings
Above the water's gleam
Where float planes touch the liquid sky
And wake the harbor's dream
[Verse 4]
Gas Works Park at twilight hour
Where rusty giants sleep
While city lights begin to shine
Like constellations deep
Across the urban wilderness
Where cultures blend and flow
Like currents in the evergreen
Heart of the Northwest glow
[Chorus]
City of the silver sound
Where two worlds interweave
Mountains touch the urban ground
Where dreamers still believe
In spaces wild and spaces new
In rhythms old and strong
Where nature's heart beats through and through
The city's evening song
