Livin' in a city of immigrants
I don't need to go travelin'
Open my door and the world walks in
Livin' in a city of immigrants
Livin' in a city that never sleeps
My heart keepin' time to a thousand beats
Singin' in languages I don't speak
Livin' in a city of immigrants
City of black, city of white, city of light, city of innocents
City of sweat, city of tears, city of prayers, city of immigrants
Livin' in a city where the dreams of men
Reach up to touch the sky and then
Tumble back down to earth again
Livin' in a city that never quits
Livin' in a city where the streets are paved
With good intentions and a people's faith
In the sacred promise a statue made
Livin' in a city of immigrants
City of stone, city of steel, city of wheels constantly spinnin'
City of bone, city of skin, city of pain, city of immigrants
[All of us are immigrants
Every daughter, every son
Everyone is everyone
All of us are immigrants
Everyone]
Livin' in a city of immigrants
River flows out and the sea rolls in
Washin' away nearly all of my sins
Livin' in a city of immigrants
City of black, city of white, city of light
I'm livin' in a city of immigrants
[All of us are immigrants, every daughter, every son]
City of sweat, city of tears, city of prayers
Livin' in a city of immigrants
[Everyone is everyone, all of us are immigrants]
City of stone, city of steel, city of wheels
Livin' in a city of immigrants
[All of us are immigrants, every daughter, every son]
City of bone, city of skin, city of pain
City of immigrants
[Everyone is everyone, all of us are immigrants]
[All of us are immigrants, all of us are immigrants]
