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 gettin' 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.
Ain't it wonderful to be,
Where I've always wanted to be?
For the first time, I'll breathe free in New York City.
