Towering Symbol of New York
A towering symbol of New York's glory
A marvel of engineering and art
A testament to human ambition and skill
The Empire State Building stands apart
It rose from the ashes of the Great Depression
A beacon of hope in a time of despair
It took more than three thousand workers and a year
To erect the skyscraper in the air
It was the tallest building in the world for decades
A landmark that drew millions of eyes
It hosted celebrities, presidents, and kings
And witnessed history and surprise
It survived lightning, fire, and plane crash
It changed colors with the seasons and events
It inspired movies, songs, and stories
And became a cultural monument
The Empire State Building is more than a structure
It is a legacy of a city and a nation
It is a tribute to the past and the future
It is a source of pride and inspiration
