I'll say goodbye

To all my sorrow

And by tomorrow

I'll be on my way

I guess the Lord must be in New York City



I'm so tired

Of getting nowhere

Seein' my prayers

Goin' unanswered

I guess the Lord must be in New York City



Well, here I am, Lord

Knockin' at your back door

Mmm...Ain't it wonderful to be

Where I've always wanted to be?

For the first time, I'll breathe free here in New York City

Say goodbye

To all my sorrow

And by tomorrow

I'll be on my way

I guess the Lord must be in New York City



So tired

Of getting nowhere and

Seein' my prayers

Goin' unanswered

I guess the Lord must be in New York City



Well, here I am, Lord

Knockin' at your back door

Mmm...Ain't it wonderful to be

Where I've always wanted to be?

For the first time, I'll breathe free here in New York City"
