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

he won't cry so many tears
Gm
till he finds out why he don't belong

like me, there's no room for us out there,
Em7
you can lose your hope and pride,
Gm Bm7
when it comes to broken dreams you'll get your share.

help us survive, make us arrive, teach us what we need to know.
