[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
