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
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
