I Guess the Lord Must Be in New York City
Finding Freedom: A Journey in New York City
Lyrics
I say goodbye to all my sorrows
I am bidding farewell to all my sorrows.
And by tomorrow I'll be on my way
By the next day, I will be on my way.
I guess the lord must be in New York City
Speculation that the divine presence is in New York City.
I'm so tired of getting nowhere
Expressing fatigue from making no progress.
Seein' my prayers going unanswered
Feeling disheartened as prayers seem unanswered.
I guess the lord must be in New York City
Reiterating the belief that God might be in New York City.
Well, here I am Lord, knocking at your back door
Presenting oneself before the Lord, symbolically seeking guidance.
Ain't it wonderful to be
Expressing joy about the wonderful feeling of being in a desired place.
Where I've always wanted to be?
Reflecting on the fulfillment of being in the desired location.
For the first time I'll breathe free in the New York City
Anticipating a sense of freedom for the first time in New York City.
Say goodbye to all my sorrow
Repeating the farewell to sorrows, preparing for departure.
And by tomorrow I'll be on my way
Reaffirming the intention to leave by the following day.
I guess the lord must be in New York City
Reiterating the idea that the divine might be in New York City.
So tired of getting nowhere
Expressing weariness from lack of progress.
And seein' my prayers going unanswered
Emphasizing the frustration of unanswered prayers.
I guess the lord must be in New York City
Reaffirming the belief in the divine presence in New York City.
Well, here I am Lord, knocking at your back door
Symbolically seeking the Lord's presence at the back door.
Ain't it wonderful to be
Expressing joy about the wonderful experience of being in a desired place.
Where I've always wanted to be?
Reflecting on the fulfillment of being in the desired location.
For the first time I'll breathe free in the New York City
Anticipating a sense of freedom for the first time in New York City.
Oh, oh
Repeating melodic expressions, possibly conveying emotion.
Oh, oh
Continuation of melodic expressions, maintaining emotional tone.
