OUT OF [bad word] AND RUBBLE
OUT OF THE SMOKE
OUT OF OUR NIGHT OF [bad word] 
CAN WE SEE RAY OF HOPE?
ONE PALE THIN RAY REACHING FOR THE DAY

WE CAN BUILD BEAUTIFUL CITY
YES, WE CAN; YES, WE CAN
WE CAN BUILD BEAUTIFUL CITY
NOT CITY OF ANGELS BUT WE CAN BUILD CITY OF MAN

WE MAY NOT REACH THE ENDING
BUT WE CAN START
SLOWLY BUT [bad word] MENDING
BRICK BY BRICK, HEART BY HEART
NOW, MAYBE NOW
WE'LL START LEARNING HOW

WE CAN BUILD BEAUTIFUL CITY
YES, WE CAN; YES, WE CAN
WE CAN BUILD BEAUTIFUL CITY
NOT CITY OF ANGELS
BUT WE CAN BUILD CITY OF MAN

WHEN YOUR [bad word] IS ALL BUT SHATTERED
WHEN YOUR FAITH IS ALL BUT KILLED
YOU CAN GIVE UP, BITTER AND BATTERED
OR YOU CAN SLOWLY START TO BUILD

BEAUTIFUL CITY
YES, WE CAN; YES, WE CAN
WE CAN BUILD BEAUTIFUL CITY
NOT CITY OF ANGELS
BUT FINALLY CITY OF MAN.
