Tears of Lovely People in Dingy Places

Dirty browns and grays, yet the people sing and play.

A city in the distance, yet this is their way.

Foreign people frown upon it, but the natives think they're fine.

So long they have lived like this, but they know it could get better in time.

Good qualities, the people have, love, tolerance, and patience.

Best they are doing, but situation makes them anxious.

Similiar to you and I, they go to school and work.

Givin the opportunity, the town could rise from the merk.
