A BOY of old Manhattan,
A boy as you and I,
Once watched its towers rising
Until they spanned the sky.
A boy of old Manhattan,
With granite in his soul,
Beheld the star of Lincoln
Above his steepled goal!
A boy of old Manhattan
Built upward hour by hour;
The edifice he visioned
Became a nation's tower!
