Note:  originally written as ‘O Lovely City, Madison’ — I made it generic for use by other gaggles.

O lovely city, our sweet home
Your golde-en promise gleams;
Your city lights so clear and bright
Encoura-age hopes and dreams.

    Yet in your streets are sleeping
    The homeless and the poor —
    Shiv’ring with cold and fears untold
    They must not be ignored!

For we’re one human fam-i-ly
And canno-ot look away
Harm done to one hurts ev’ryone
Our work be-egins today!

    O may each winter morning
    Proclaim a new rebirth —
    Justice and opportu-ni-ty
    With peace to all on earth!
