MY LOS ANGELES 
Words & Music: 
Jonathan Kelley© 2005

It’s under-rated by the folks who can’t agree,
Their vision’s jaded by conventionality.
They only see the freeways, no forest for the trees,
It’s our hip metropolis, 
My Los Angeles.
Listen, I’ll  hand you this, a timely tip for free:
Here in Los Angeles, dreams reach reality.
You choose what goals to strive for... your passion is the key,
The limit is only your creativity.

I love Los Angeles, it’s just where I should be,
Warm as a lover’s kiss, a cultural potpourri.
Please try to understand this, my productivity,
Can thrive in Los Angeles, where I can be me.
All of your wildest dreams could come to life so clear,
Some call it La La Land, or Tinsel Town, you’ll hear.
I’ll find my break, my chances... could grow so suddenly,
Right here in Los Angeles, just you wait and see.
