Song: New York State's Three Autonomous Regions
Music, Lyrics & Voices: Ai
Arrangement and rewritten: Aaron J Weaver

[chorus]
The division of an Empire State,
No longer a question, no longer a debate.
New York State is a dying cause.
A fractured reflection of what once was.

It's time to make a drastic change,
To take the map and rearrange,
A state of three autonomous regions,
Where We The People make our own decisions.

[vesre1]
Montauk!

A realm of lawn, beauty, and salty breeze,
The leafy suburbs, settled into ease.
From Westchester's hills to Long Island's shore,
A careful, tranquil, prosperous metaphor.
A quiet strength that guards its own domain,
Shielded from the city's urgent rain.

[chorus]
The division of an Empire State,
No longer a question, no longer a debate.
New York State is a dying cause.
A fractured reflection of what once was.

It's time to make a drastic change,
To take the map and rearrange,
A state of three autonomous regions,
Where We The People make our own decisions.

[vesre2]
New York!

The island city, that is bright and bold,
The heart of glass, with stories manifold.
Where towers touch the clouds with gilded might,
And subway lines run restless through the night.
A sovereign power, separate from the land,
Governed by its own commanding hand.

[chorus]
The division of an Empire State,
No longer a question, no longer a debate.
New York State is a dying cause.
A fractured reflection of what once was.

It's time to make a drastic change,
To take the map and rearrange,
A state of three autonomous regions,
Where We The People make our own decisions.

[verse3]
New Amsterdam!

A place that's called by many, Upstate,
For all the counties stretching to lakes great.
The patient farmer and the mountain peak,
The silent woods where old traditions speak.
A new old spirit, for a land long slighted,
Where diverse lives are finally united.

[chorus]
The division of an Empire State,
No longer a question, no longer a debate.
New York State is a dying cause.
A fractured reflection of what once was.

It's time to make a drastic change,
To take the map and rearrange,
A state of three autonomous regions,
Where We The People make our own decisions.
