Pavement
And footprints
Of blackened burdens

From broken men

Skyline

And sunrise
For battle cries
From hopeless women


And suddenly
You look the same as he or she or me

And in a city second
You're eyes are opened to the


1 2 3 4
All the humans of New York
5 6 7 8

A thousand lives in every face
9 10 say it again
I'll be, you are, they have been

1 2 3 4
All the humans of New York


Street lights
At nighttime
When all our demons

Come back alive

Neon

And our song
Of revolution
Coming alive


And suddenly
You look the same as he or she or me

And in a city second
You're eyes are opened to the


1 2 3 4
All the humans of New York
5 6 7 8

A thousand lives in every face
9 10 say it again
I'll be, you are, they have been

1 2 3 4
All the humans of New York


Would you have hope?
Would you gain a little closure?
Would it help you cope?

Would you step a little closer?
Would you see yourself
In a mirror made of pictures?

Would you find yourself
In a beautiful stranger?


Would you have hope?

Would it help you cope?

Would you step a little closer?
Would you see yourself
In a mirror made of pictures?

Would you find yourself
In a beautiful stranger?
