LYRICS.

New York City, where all your girls are pretty

All your men are running from somewhere

Making a name for themselves

Are you running from something or did you come from nothing?

Are you testing the Lord with the cards that you've been dealt?

Where do you find peace in the middle of the city?

Hard enough to find a friend when everyone's starting over again

I feel like a child in a world that seems shapeless

When I am most afraid is when I get sucked back in

Yeah, you came here with nothing and you leave here with the same

Sometimes the road that you were walking on is going the wrong way

Just come as you are

When you leave, you will be changed

'Cause every day is a gift, every day is a gift

And it's all slipping away

Now if you leave, will you feel defeated?

Cause you didn't take from the city as much as the city took from you

What if you had stayed, what if you'd done what you were thinking?

I'd rather give up on life in the city than have given up on life, too

It must be hard to live in the midst of all those buildings

Where the changing of the wind don't seem a miracle at all

Don't bother end to end, it's a maze of bad habits

Where the rabbit in the hat is just a train in the fog

Yeah, you came here with nothing and you leave here with the same

Sometimes the road that you were walking on is going the wrong way

Just come as you are

When you leave, you will be changed

'Cause every day is a gift, every day is a gift

And it's all slipping away

Follow your dreams, but beware of the illusions

You won't fill the void in your heart with a bank statement and a car

What is it worth, what is it worth?

Have you given up on freedom?

You spent your life earning the keys to set you free when you were free all along

New York City, where all your girls are pretty

All your men are running from somewhere

Making a name for themselves

Are you running from something, or did you come from nothing?

Are you testing the Lord with the cards that you've been dealt?
