Light of the City

Every building in Beirut resembles you,
Laundry hanging and balconies stacked like yours,
And colorful boats, not quite as vibrant as you,
Oh, light of the city, I want to love you.
Every story in Beirut resembles you,
Eyes with kohl that know how to speak,
And broken promises, tormented hearts, and hidden people, all lost for you,
Oh, light of the city, I want to love you.
Every memory in Beirut resembles you,
Oh, light of the city, I want to love you.
Oh, light of the city, I want to love you.
