City of the Angels [Lawrence Gowan]

City Of The Angels
Written by Lawrence Gowan

They sit and wait
That time shall pass
They hear no call
Nothing is breaking
They reach the heights
They learn to run
They gain it all
Are you awaking...

Hello stranger, welcome in to the
City of the Angels
Share with us your passion, for a while
Many seek but shall find
The City of the Angels
You're among the fortunate, my child

They kiss the wind
That love forgets
They lose the heart
Gone with the crier
They cross the line
That dare to dream
Their fears depart
Into the fire...

Hello stranger, welcome in to the
City of the Angels
Share with us your passion, for a while
Many seek but shall find
The City of the Angels
You're among the fortunate, my child

You went searching for this
Not a moment to miss
You can hardly resist...

Hello stranger, welcome in to the
City of the Angels
Share with us your passion, for a while
Many seek but shall find
The City of the Angels
You're among the fortunate, my child

Interpretation

Los Angeles, California is known as the city of angels ("los angeles" is Spanish for "the angels"). However, Bangkok, Thailand, is also known as the city of the angels.  Regardless of which city is in view, it is a large city where one could be lost in the crowd but also where people go to reach their dreams, whether that is love, money, or success.
