Staring out into this city of endless light
remembering time from long past
where the night was dark
and owned by my people.
This place is new to those here
not unlike the countries where we began.
Coming here for a new beginning
like the new life thrust upon me
in the back alley that began my own darkness.
Older than this country by hundreds of years;
this place is my new home.
A city where I can find
light amid the darkness.
I will protect this land,
and its people, as my own.
