Reaching for the stars like grabbing at straws
Where warm summer days have finally caught us
Snoozing out on the great lawn with sunglasses on
Watching hawks swoop down from high up above
Perched on the balconies of Fifth Avenue penthouses
Hot dogs with mustard and sauerkraut and a can of soda
Reading comic books in the shade on an old park bench
Balloons and ice cream cones come alive in the hot sun
Strolling down the Poet's Walk with a notebook and a pen
Crazy sweet love in the afternoon behind the Summer Stage
Watching kids and dogs splash in the Bethesda Fountain
Wild mango sunset paints everything an evil shade of gold
Sneak away to smoke behind the statue of Alice In Wonderland
Aristocrats wearing tuxedos and top hats stood in this spot
Horse drawn carriages gallop around in a romantic dance
Breakdancers boogie to their boombox beats in the heat
Skaters jump and glide on the wind defying gravity
Moments of quiet peace are gently waiting to be enjoyed
Deep breaths of fresh air flow freely in the cool breeze
Walking in John Lennon's footsteps through Strawberry Fields
Forever growing like a garden inside a concrete wilderness
An oasis to protect our humanity from unnatural elements
Protected by an invisible forcefield to keep the beauty intact
Old friends sharing good times together spread out on a blanket
Relaxed inside an alternate universe in the middle of the city
