In the streets of New York City every man can feel the cold,

and I don't want no pity, but I want my story told.
D#m7 G#9
And the lights shine down on me, they shine on the little boy,
D#m7 G#9
is this the way to make him pay being born in a world of joy?
F# F#maj7
But like me,he don't know where he'll go wrong,

he won't cry so many tears

till he finds out why he don't belong

you can lose your hope and pride,

when it comes to broken dreams you'll get your share.
