Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
I'm so tired of gettin' nowhere
Seein' my prayers goin' unanswered
I guess the Lord must be in New York City
[Chorus]
Well, here I am, Lord
Knockin' at your back door, mmm-hmm-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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
So tired of gettin' nowhere
And seein' my prayers goin' unanswered
I guess the Lord must be in New York City
[Chorus]
Well, here I am, Lord
Knockin' at your back door, mmm-hmm-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
