Philadelphia - City of Brotherly Love, Liberty Bell - Let Freedom Ring!!!!! [View all]

I am so proud of the city where I went to University founded by Benjamin Franklin - University of Pennsylvania!!!! A proud Penn Quaker!!!

Where I learned how great a Philly Cheesesteak at 1AM on South Street is tastier than anything and that it’s a city that not just as where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were signed, now just saved our democracy...

I am crying and smiling right now....



Full Lyrics to “Streets of Philadelphia” - Bruce Springsteen

I was bruised and battered
I couldn't tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
Saw my reflection in a window
And didn't know my own face
Oh brother are you gonna leave me wastin' away
On the streets of Philadelphia?
I walked the avenue, 'til my legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Just as black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia
Ain't no angel gonna greet me
It's just you and I my friend
And my clothes don't fit me no more
A thousand miles just to slip this skin
The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia?
