[00:10.98] New York City
[00:13.17] Where all your girls are pretty
[00:15.41] All your men are running from somewhere
[00:17.66] Making a name for themselves
[00:20.34] Are you running from something
[00:22.77] Or did you come from nothing
[00:24.96] Are you testing the Lord
[00:27.02] With the cards that you've been dealt
[00:30.23] Where do you find peace
[00:31.98] In the middle of the city
[00:34.66] Hard enough to find a friend
[00:36.66] When everyone's starting over again
[00:39.59] I feel like a child
[00:41.40] In a world that seems shapeless
[00:44.02] When I am most afraid
[00:46.27] Is when I get sucked back in
[00:49.02] Yeah, you came here with nothing
[00:51.57] And your leaving with the same
[00:53.82] Sometimes the road that you were walking on
[00:56.32] Is going the wrong way
[00:58.56] Just come as you are
[01:00.81] When you leave you will be changed
[01:03.55] Everyday is a gift, everyday is a gift
[01:06.18] And it's all slipping away
[01:08.66]
[01:27.99] Now if you leave
[01:29.61] Will you feel defeated
[01:32.29] Cause you didn't take from the city
[01:34.41] As much as the city took from you
[01:37.03] What if you'd stayed
[01:39.16] What if you'd done what you were thinking
[01:41.53] I'd rather you give up on life in the city
[01:43.96] Than giving up on life too
[01:46.52] It must be hard to live
[01:48.89] In the midst of all those buildings
[01:51.32] Where the changing of the wind
[01:53.32] Don't seem a miracle at all
[01:56.13] And by the hands of man
[01:58.32] It's a maze of bad habits
[02:00.81] Where the rabbit in the hat
[02:02.93] Is just a train in the fog
[02:05.62] Yeah, you came here with nothing
[02:07.74] And your leaving with the same
[02:10.36] Sometimes the road that you were walking on
[02:13.10] Is going the wrong way
[02:15.29] Just come as you are
[02:16.97] When you leave you will be changed
[02:19.91] Everyday is a gift, everyday is a gift
[02:22.77] And it's all slipping away
[02:24.65]
[02:45.18] Follow your dreams
[02:46.31] But beware of the illusions
[02:49.05] You won't feel the void in your heart
[02:51.17] With a bank statement and a car
[02:53.54] What is it worth, what is it worth
[02:55.98] Have you given up on freedom
[02:58.29] You spent your life earning
[02:59.60] the keys to set you free
[03:01.03] When you were free all along
[03:03.71] New York City
[03:06.21] Where all your girls are pretty
[03:08.27] All your men are running from somewhere
[03:10.52] Making a name for themselves
[03:13.39] Are you running from something
[03:15.51] Or did you come from nothing
[03:17.82] Are you testing the Lord
[03:19.88] With the cards that you've been dealt
