Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And by tomorrow I'll be on my way
I guess the Lord must be in New York City
I'm so tired of getting nowhere
Seeing my prayers going unanswered
I guess the Lord must be in New York City
Well here I am, Lord
Knocking on your back door
Where I've always wanted to be
For the first time I'll be free in New York City
I say goodbye to all my sorrows
And by tomorrow I'll be on my way
I guess the Lord must in New York City
I'm so tired of getting nowhere
Seeing my prayers going unanswered
I guess the Lord must be in New York City
Well here I am, Lord
Knocking on your back door
Ain't it wonderful to be
Where I've always wanted to be
For the first time I'll be free in New York City

A baby on top of another baby (just nonsense)
Come mesi su mesi
Like months and months
Sosa una leggenda come Neymar e Messi
Sosa, a legend like Neymar and Messi

Lei lo sa che io non parlo
She knows that I don't talk
Guardi me si perchè
Look at me, because
Non hai il coraggio di farlo

Non hai il coraggio di farlo
You don't have the courage to do it
Non hai il coraggio di farlo
You don't have the courage to do it
