New York City
Among Savages

New York City

Where all your girls are pretty

All your men are running from somewhere

Making a name for themselves


Are you running from something

Or did you come from nothing

Are you testing the Lord

With the cards that you've been dealt


Where do you find peace

In the middle of the city

Hard enough to find a friend

When everyone's starting over again


I feel like a child

In a world that seems shapeless

When I am most afraid

Is when I get sucked back in


Yeah, you came here with nothing

And your leaving with the same

Sometimes the road that you were walking on

Is going the wrong way


Just come as you are

When you leave you will be changed

Everyday is a gift, everyday is a gift

And it's all slipping away


Now if you leave

Will you feel defeated

Cause you didn't take from the city

As much as the city took from you


What if you'd stayed

What if you'd done what you were thinking

I'd rather you give up on life in the city

Than giving up on life too


It must be hard to live


In the midst of all those buildings

Where the changing of the wind

Don't seem a miracle at all


And by the hands of man

It's a maze of bad habits

Where the rabbit in the hat

Is just a train in the fog


Yeah, you came here with nothing

And your leaving with the same

Sometimes the road that you were walking on

Is going the wrong way


Just come as you are

When you leave you will be changed

Everyday is a gift, everyday is a gift

And it's all slipping away


Follow your dreams

But beware of the illusions

You won't feel the void in your heart

With a bank statement and a car


What is it worth, what is it worth

Have you given up on freedom

You spent your life earning the keys to set you free

When you were free all along


New York City

Where all your girls are pretty

All your men are running from somewhere

Making a name for themselves


Are you running from something

Or did you come from nothing

Are you testing the Lord

With the cards that you've been dealt
