Constitution Hall


Somewhere under the train tracks 
There is an old hat waiting for change
Like Brian, who’s holding his sign and
Hoping you’ll find in your heart to look his way


And you can ride from the suburbs to the city
On your way to Constitution Hall
You came to see the cracks in Liberty
And ended up missing them all


Needles, just two for a dollar
Yells the mom with her daughter running beside
But the city looks so clean and pretty
When you ignore all the gritty truth that’s inside


And you can ride from the suburbs to the city
On your way to Constitution Hall
You came to see the cracks in Liberty
And ended up missing them all


Somewhere by the delaware river
A child will shiver without a coat
While by the fire we’re warming 
So this song is a warning
But also a chance for life and for hope
Oh Philadelphia
