Detroit Thee
One might decide to visit Detroit one day on a whim
Then be driven away from all the unpleasant stereotypes heard from her, and him
Crime, desolation and poverty
Just a few things outsiders might label, when they think of the city that belongs to you and me
Those three words, don’t even begin to describe our city, it is much, much more
Detroit entails nothing but wonderful things galore
Motown, Joe Louis Arena, Greektown and more
A city that defies all of its labels
A city that is willing
A city that is able
With rich history and stories to tell at every corner
That will capture the attention of any foreigner
Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King walked our streets
Fighting segregation, from their heads to their feet
Henry Ford built and empire built on cars
Setting the foundation for a city, bound to go far
Berry Gordy began a music industry that boomed around the globe
Setting off music waves like a strobe
Food, sights and fun
Detroit’s best days, have just begun
I guarantee that you will never find another such as fascinating as thee
Detroit
A city that belongs to you and me
