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, hmm 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, hmm 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
