I looked at the city from afar
It glittered and shimmered and begged
For me to come near
Which of course I did.
So I began walking towards the city of diamonds
The city of riches
The city of jewels.
And when I got there I saw with me eyes
And never was there such a suprise
Not a city of diamond, but a city of glass
A city where all good things have come to pass
Not a city of jewels, but a city of light
There was never a city so bright.
A city of glass I found that day
But I turned around
And went away
