“Ode to Minneapolis

City by the river, at dusk and dawn, your heart beats across the Mississippi, so simple and pure. Bridges carry laughter, water carries history, dreams sprout in your streets, quiet and strict.

Minneapolis, your bright heart, be our guiding star, together we carry your light through storm and distance. Minneapolis, your melody blows through night and day, we stand together, building hope, tender and strong.

You give us art in every corner, sound and colour, you let people dream, forming bridges of emotion. Green hills, forests, the rhythm of the city so free, in your silence the future grows, clear and bright.

Minneapolis, your bright heart, be our guiding star, together we carry your light through storm and distance. Minneapolis, your melody blows through night and day, we stand together, building hope, hand in hand in rhythm.

When night falls and the water reflects like stars, we remember: we are many, one in shared learning. We may dream, act, build bridges without hesitation, united colourfully in your midst, we let the forces carry us.

Minneapolis, your bright heart, be our guiding star, Together we carry your light through storms and distances. Minneapolis, your melody blows through night and day, we stand together, building hope, firm and strong.

O Minneapolis, remain our light, clear and free, courage and love dwell in you, until the morning awakens anew.”
