Alone in the crowd
I’m a member of the human race
a female, I’m a girl
I’m part of this great universe
a child of this great world
On the continent of America
in the great US of A
where three hundred million people live
the number growing every day
New York State, New York City
the island of Manhatten
where summer heat and winter cold
cling to you like satin
The largest village ever known
a small apartment just for me
is this a prison sentence
or does this mean that I’m free?
